Day 2 – Recovery Run Day
A recovery run isn’t about pushing your limits or achieving personal bests—it’s about allowing your body to recuperate, maintain movement, and promote blood flow to your muscles at an easy pace (about 60% effort). Similarly, scheduling downtime between demanding work blocks isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. These breaks help your mind reset, reduce stress, and sustain productivity throughout the day. Just as a recovery run supports your long-term athletic progress, regular breaks—whether it’s a 30-minute weight session, a 15–20-minute walk, or simply stepping away for a moment—are vital for your overall well-being and effectiveness at work.
Question: How often do you incorporate these essential breaks into your daily routine?
