Have I got this right? 5 runs. I can only assume you mentioned you had some planned as we’ve got 30 mins in for Tuesday and Wednesday. Apologies if I have messed this up. We can always tweak it as need be. Ideally 4 runs would be the max, but given the first 3 are short it will probably be ok. Happy New Year Sarah.
Week of 2 halves, started off really well with New Years Eve and New Years day but suffered a little at the end of the week due to bad weather.
Still pleased with the week overall as I am very happy with my New Years Eve run in particular.
Sometimes when things are out of your control it’s difficult and not much you can do. But good to take the positives as you’ve done and move on to the next week.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
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.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate. Don’t forget your strides. Very important. 30-60 seconds recovery between strides.
Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
