Recovery run in the sun

Recovery run to start the week. While I had no stiffness after my long run on Saturday, my legs did feel quite heavy and slow this evening, so I took it easy. It was a lovely evening, 22 degrees and hazy, with a cool breeze so it was very nice to be out. I came home then and did some strength exercises and some stretches. My exam is on Friday, so trying to focus. I will be so glad when it’s done.

Nothing to recover from

Recovery run tonight. In truth my legs felt fine after my long run, no stiffness at all. I did my stretches straight away on Saturday and did a bit of foam rolling yesterday. However I did feel generally tired so just did 2 miles. I came home starving but did some strength exercises and stretched. Then did an hour on financial instruments. Now to put the bin out. Such is my life at the moment.

I will hopefully get out for a longer run on Saturday. Now…

Recovery

Quick recovery run tonight. My legs were a little bit sore after Saturday but they still worked so off I went to plod around the neighbourhood. I was proud of myself for leaving work on time when I could have stayed. Have to pace myself this week, seeing as I have to work at the weekend. Quick cup of tea and I am off to bed.
