“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.
