This is your workout for Tuesday, December 20, 2022.
This is week two of three weeks of recovery and day two of the week.
At RunBlogRun, we build three weeks of recovery into the end of each season. I learned this from following the late Ron Daws, a 1968 Olympian, in his book, The Self-Made Olympian. Daws was a follower of the great Arthur Lydiard, who build periods of mileage, hills, track work, and racing to bring an athlete to the height of racing fitness.
Your workout today is a good warm-up, and a thirty to fifty-minute run on the trails, with a cool-down.
