“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Normally we’d be resting this week after an ultra, but we are 7 weeks away from the 100k which is going to need a taper so we just ease back this week (a little). So keeping the runs easy. You’re going to be in a better position than me this week to determine just what the body is willing to do, so by all means if you need extra rest, take it. What I’ve set is the upper limit of what you want to do rather than a must.

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.
60 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2-5)
60 mins on the flat is quite different to 60 mins on the hills. So it’s important to differentiate between the two and if you do a hilly easy run, to account for that extra training load and how it might impact the rest of your week.

70 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.
All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.
