40 Mins Run
Zone 2
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.
I’ve put in the Oliver Curd and Saucony 10k as easy runs. Ideally we would like to run one of them at a higher effort. Sunday I guess if running with Su & Lou etc you’ll be in Zone 3-4 so that will boost the points. But ideally we don’t want everything to be easy.

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
A burst of pilates can really help with both mobility and strength. 5pts incoming ππ
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.
Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.
