Foggy Recovery run
It would had been tempting to trust my morning check in where I scored 0 out of 10 on fatigue and pains. But I knew better, yesterday’s session was hard and most of the impact will be more noticeable after 36 - 48 h. Therefore I started my day with a recovery run.
Here the goal is to stay in a low heartbeat and just shake out to increase blood circulation. Doing so will help your body to process and remove waste materials that cause muscle pains (hence the name recovery run). While speed is irrelevant, it was still fun to notice a small improvement on low heartbeat.
There was quite some heavy fog, which made it an absolute joy to be outside. The temperature was perfect and the views were nice.
During the run I noticed that kilometers 1 till 4 went as expected 0 issues. At kilometer 5 I felt a little impact from yesterdays session pop up. So I was glad to do a short recovery run rather than an intense session today!
As one of my side goals (next to the marathons) is to get in better overall shape. I am also focussing on nutrition and more strenght workouts. Since early februari I am down 2.7 kg and have a body fat % of 14%, so getting close to where I want to be.
Happy running!
How do you workout your morning check, just by feel or heart rate variability?
I normally look at my resting heartrate (41 being normal) and HRV trend + sleep pattern. Right after waking up (30 sec, garmin data).
After that I do a mental check in (1 min) and finally some easy movement - push up, wall sits and plank and ankle and wrist mobility (10 min) that gives a good idea hwhat I can expect that day!
