Recover Like a Runner, Not a Hero

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.
