Ran 3.1 miles at easy pace in 27:52. 8:59 AP. My legs felt heavy after my long run yesterday.

This will be a recovery week for me after 3 weeks of build-up and 2-3 hard days per week. I'll probably run 3 miles at easy pace on S, M, T, and Th, and I'll run ~7-8 on Saturday. That will be about 19 miles for the week, down from 20 and 23 over the last 2 weeks. I assume no one else reads this, but in case anyone does, what do you do for your recovery weeks?

your comment on my blog brought me here wondering about you... so, now I read your's!

Recovery weeks - take your volume down by about 20-30%. Still try and get a little bit of workouts in (I actually still do my workouts in recovery weeks, maybe just cut the # or reps or distance or whatever). But it is your recovery week... do what you need to to recover a bit!
