I've just been plodding along this last week, building up that base!
So just three short easy runs...
17 August...
Headed out to the local park for an Octopus session, no point doing these on the track, really!

And the short intervals..

18 August...
Next day an early a.m. very easy run...

20 August...
And an even easier but longer run two days later...

Final thoughts...
I am enjoying taking it easy, no idea if it's gonna work, but nice to try!
I am impressed you can hold back. If I ever feel good and fresh I just want to go fast.
I'm mixing up my runs, but I've seen a lot of articles and videos on the benefits of taking it easy. Have fun.
