18-24 April... Recovery week- Less than 6 weeks to go

Tues
track
Wed
5:15am- 90 min run from Morningside Engen
Thurs/Fri
Do a 60min run one day and a 20min@Tempo run on the other
Sat
1h45min very easy
Sun
2h30 long run (Regents doing 23km- route 1 S)

I will be away from Thursday, so weekend long runs will be up to you.
Legs may be feeling heavy early in the week, which may mean skipping the full track session.
If you need to skip track, come anyway... warm up, stretch and do some run throughs, then warm down and stretch again.
You should be recovered by the weekend, and the weekend runs should feel easy after all the miles in the last 2 weeks.
It might be an idea to do 90 min on Monday 25th. With 60 min on Fri 22nd, that will give you 4 really decent runs in a row and some good miles to bank.
Saturdays run is a really good time to start practice walking and running- you do it on Comrades for sure, so get your body used to doing it.  Once a week from now.

Happy Easter, He died for YOU!

The boat on the truck in the background may have been a better option- rain, rain, rain
