This is your workout for Monday, November 6, 2023.
This is a recovery day.
Keep this day relaxed and stay focused on the goal.
Your workout today:
Warm up slowly, take the time to get the big muscles warm, and notice anything sore or not working well.
45-55 minutes of running, begin easy, and pick it up, moderate pace, and be careful not to run too fast.
Cool down slowly, watch your body, hydrate, stretch, get out of wet clothes immediately.
Recovery days work. Your body needs to use the stress from hard days to build muscle and endurance, but you must give it the time to recover. Recovery takes 24-48 hours most of the time, but watch and listen to your body.
As you have built yourself into shape, this is when you get colds, injured, etc. Stay alert.
