Recovery and Rehab

Recovery
Tough weekend, the fast 5 miles and the slow 9er we're pretty challenging. By Monday I just needed a kip, so no training.
Rehab
Tuesday kicked off with a half hour of yoga and finished with a decent track session

The yoga was based around back stretching. That should help with the core stability.
Went to the track after work. I'd decided I'd play it by ear and take it as easy as possible. Worst case, I'd not run and just coach my group.
Fortunately coach Tony had a 400s session planned for us, 12x400 with 1 min recovery. I like these so decided to start and see how far I got.
Target time 80 seconds. Got to 5 all on target. Then did the 6th in 82, so decided to drop out for 1. This effectively gave me 3.20 rest instead of the usual 1. this was enough and I carried on, completing the final 6 on target. Pretty please with the session and feel back in some sort of shape.
