Recovery run kept the week moving

This was a useful recovery run because it kept the rhythm going without trying to become another hard session. The pace stayed mostly controlled, and the run helped absorb the recent long run and quality work.

The best signal is that even on heavier legs, the session still moved smoothly enough to include a few short faster touches. That shows the legs are not flat, just carrying some normal fatigue from a strong training block.

The caution is that heart rate sat higher than a pure recovery day would ideally show, especially in the second half. That makes the next workout a sharpening session, not a fitness test.

Takeaway. Useful recovery day with some remaining fatigue underneath. The next session can include controlled race pace work, but it should stay sharp and repeatable rather than becoming another heavy effort.

Next step. Controlled race pace tune up. A short quality session to sharpen rhythm without adding fatigue. Keep the reps controlled, smooth, and finish feeling like there was still more available.
