A little apprehensive about the back to back runs so at this stage of the plan head out Wednesday with the understanding that 100 mins isn’t a necessity. If you get it done, great. But don’t push yourself to the point you might get injured. If need be 80 mins or 90 mins is still great. I hope you have a safe journey to Sweden. We need to see some pics on Strava please ⛄❄ Keep up the great work Debbie
Especially pleased with the long run. My back is playing up a bit, might be more related to travelling a sleeping in a different bed rather than running.
I know you do a lot of yoga, but do you have a daily stretching routine for the back? I’m sure we’ve discussed this in the past. But I know from experience, because if I don’t do my daily stretches 2 days in a row my back will be a problem. So happy to discuss again if need be. My routine takes 15-20 mins a day, but it’s worth the effort. Hope you’re having a nice time on your trip?
Keep the gym stuff simply and always ensure any changes are small.
Flexibility is definitely very important to runners and yoga can help in that area!

Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
