Best thing he said (to me) was forget the pace, forget the Strava. I think social media has everyone so scared to look embarrassed or something by going slow. No 🏅for recovery 👌 This is a tune up, a check up, like Lee said. Not even really a run. Its recovery, not even an easy run. I refer to these as Time On Feet. Also when he says you should feel better when done than before starting. Not tired at all. Not pouring sweat and breathing hard. I do deep nose breathing during recovery too. Relax, and just float as lightly and airy as you can. He's right. It works. Just my experience. Solid advice as usual 👍

Great stuff there Lee. Really appreciate the advice as these things are the least talked about... Had a tough long run yesterday so really enjoyed my recovery run this morning... Keep up the good work 👍

Great stuff, and likewise, keep up the good work!

I was amazed when I started to treat recovery runs just like that. I felt much better after a slow AF run than if I’d just had a rest day. Recovery runs are vastly underrated.

No problem 👍

Some excellent tips, thanks. You mentioned the arms, and I was thinking about this on my last run as I was testing some minor adjustments. I was raising my arms a little and keeping them closer to my side/chest. However, this increased tension in my shoulders. Any advice on getting the balance right between being relaxed and keeping the arms up?

Hello H, if you're trying to implement a new style, it can take 30-40 runs for it to become second nature, and it's always an ongoing check. Plus in the beginning, you might notice tightness/soreness if you're not used to it.

Top content again mate, had a question not relating to this exactly. Last 2 long runs iv had, i have noticed that my HR is pushing up to 155+ with me putting out the same effort as previous weeks where i have been as low as 138-144 average over 12-18km give or take. What could be causing this do you think? Many thanks

Where are you based? Has the temperature/humidity changed? Are you hydrating/fueling the same? How does the rest of your life look - work/relationships - any stress? How about accumulated fatigue - when was the last time you took a week where you scale back the volume and freshened up? Are you recovery/easy runs easy enough?

@@leegrantham well after watching this I can hand on heart say my recovery runs are too fast. Always run fasted as I run super early in the morning, probably could do with drinking more water in general. Some food for thought indeed. Appreciate the reply mate and appreciate all the stuff you put out also.

Hi. What speed was you jogging at there?
