Today’s session is a recovery run. A recovery run is used to pump oxygen rich blood to your tired and damaged muscle tissue in your legs after a tough session or a long run. The pace of a recovery run is somewhere between an easy run and a steady run. Pace isn’t overly important and you aren’t trying to go very long. Anywhere between 3 and 7 miles is plenty.
COACHING TIP: The recovery run is another good run to do in company. If you ran in a group on your Sunday long run, or a tough session on the track, try to get this same group out again for this one. You will all have the same goal.
