This is Wednesday, November 15, 2023.
This is a recovery day.
Recovery days are key to your success; in fact, they might be the secret to your success.
Keep the pace moderate to easy, spend extra time stretching, and do your warm-up and cooldown well.
I recall that my training partner Paul Gyorey and I would do our easy days with each other, away from our
buddies, as we learned that, giving ourselves that easy pace allowed us to really recover. The season that I figured that out,
I ran PBs from two miles to 10,000m.
Learn to see the importance of recovery!
Your workout today:
Warm up slowly,
45-55 minutes of moderate running,
6 x 150-meter stride outs,
Cooldown, slowly.
Enjoy your day.
