RE: How long to rest between long runs?

in EXHAUST • 21 days ago

That tweak where you do a 5k easy at about 8 min/km with 100 m bursts near 5 min/km makes a lot of sense. Cutting volume but keeping a splash of speed leaves me fresher the next day too, and my legs file fewer complaints than after back to back 10k. I also like tossing a few short strides at the end of easy runs for the same effect, nothing all out. Do you track heart rate on those pickups or just go by feel?

        could you elaborate a little bit about what you mean by this?

        I track my heartrate. Depending on my goal I try to stay in zone 4 unless it on chill i guess call it interval training days where I will stay in zone 3 until the split then go into zone 5 or H2OMax, whatever that means. :)
