Today's recovery run and mobility routine is in preparation for your Long Run tomorrow. Remember that every workout you do has a purpose and our goal is to be able to bring our best to the workout specific runs. A "run workout" is any run that has "intensity" and intensity comes in the form of speed OR duration (typically long runs). Your long run will always be considered intense because of how taxing it is on your system. Anytime we move past the 90 minute mark in an activity fueling and mental focus start to take on a more vital role.
Recovering properly today, will set you up for a solid run tomorrow, so be good to your body and approach today with lightness and care.
Everyone- Ease into your run and pause within the first 5-8 minutes if needed for some dynamic stretches; otherwise just continue forward with this recovery style run which should be done UNDER your aerobic heart rate zone.
After your run, choose any routine from my MOBILITY/STRETCHING category. And YES, you can do the mobility routine later in the day if needed.
