I’ve switched things up this week just to give you extra rest after the half marathon. We want to make sure you recover before that. Keep the easy runs super easy this week too just to be on the safe side, and then we can inject that bit of pace into the legs on the 10k session, which is good prep for the 5 mile race not too far away. Any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Maria.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Legs felt heavy today lol
I’m not surprised after Sunday. I’m glad we dropped the speed work and kept this easy. Well done Maria.

If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Both complete
Awesome work Maria!!!

Quality 10k session. These are the runs where the magic happens.

Not going to be able to complete this today.My legs have felt very heavy all week but a the end of yesterday’s run my knee started to hurt and this morning I couldn’t even walk up and down my stairs well
Oh no. That’s not good news. Probably a result of the half marathon Sunday. Rest up for now. Sometimes these pains go as quickly as they arrive, but be careful, and take some extra recovery if needed. I can’t really think any other reason why that knee pain would have come along. Keep me posted though.

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Leg is better than it was but not 100 percent so havnt risked doing this today
That is sensible. Hopefully it’s just a case of needed this week to recover. Let’s not forget that half marathon PB on Sunday!!
