Recovery/not training is nice. No ties. No, “go this long at this effort”. No target heart rates. No …nothing.

Just …RUN Forrest!

And I have been running. Not every day but I am being fairly consistent (have not missed two days in a row for the last week).

I feel good - with absolutely no niggles from the marathon.

Highlights? Well, one day last week I ran a fairly low-key mile in 6:25. By “low-key” I mean it wasn’t a full out effort. I just wanted to see if I was capable of some speed.

Today marked the return of the weekly long run. Not so long though - a relatively slow, short 10ish miles in a bit under 90 minutes.

Smiling.
