If you want next week’s training to count, today should be all about low-stress recovery. Most parkrunners push too hard on Sunday — and pay for it by Tuesday.
Here’s your gentle reset routine:
✔️ 20–30 minutes easy walking OR very easy jogging
Conversation pace only.
✔️ 5–8 minutes gentle stretching
Hamstrings, hip flexors, glutes, calves.
✔️ Hydrate + eat something colourful
Aim for fruit, veg, or a balanced breakfast.
✔️ Early night if you can
Your next productive training week starts with tonight’s sleep.
Reset the body. Reset the mind. Reset the plan.
Your next parkrun starts today — quietly.
