Morning report
· Wed, 6:45 AM
You're on track for the 100K — now let your body catch up.
You slept 6h 12m last night, lighter than you'd like, and your HRV is still under baseline. Your legs feel strong, but your nervous system is still clearing Sunday's long run — so today's about easy aerobic, nothing that digs deeper.
Here's how I'd shape the day, based on your sleep, training load and where you are in the plan:
Morning
Easy Z2 run · 60 min
Aerobic base at a conversational pace. Keep HR under 142 — if it drifts, slow down.
7:15 AM
Refuel — 25g protein
Within 30 minutes of finishing, to kickstart repair while your body's primed.
8:15 AM
Midday
Hydration · 2L by 4pm
You ran a fluid deficit yesterday — steady sips keep recovery moving.
Through the day
Evening
Wind down early
Lights out by 22:30 — bank the sleep your nervous system is still asking for.

my legs felt flat on today's easy run, what gives?
From Training
That's yesterday's heavy lift still in your legs, and it's worth reading right.
You lifted heavy lower-body yesterday, then ran easy today. A little flatness is the strength session doing its job, but here's how the week is actually loading:
- · Yesterday · heavy lower (squats, hinge)
- · Today · easy run, legs ~60% fresh
- · Thursday · your key quality run
The flatness now is fine. What matters is that it clears before Thursday, so the heavy lift and the hard run don't collide. If it lingers, we move the lift earlier next week.
Anthony Turner
Strength and running compete for the same legs. Place the heavy work so it never lands on top of a quality run, and both keep improving.

Plan for Today
Wed 25 · Today
Up next · 7:15 AM
Easy aerobic run · 50 min
Keep today's run genuinely relaxed. You're pairing it with a strength session later, so the run is the warm-up, not the workout.
EffortEasy · conversational
Role todayWarm-up for the lift
Don'tRun it hard
Per Anthony Turner · easy run, then lift
8:00 AM
Refuel breakfast · carbs + protein
Within 30 minutes of finishing, while your body's primed to restock. Oats with banana, honey and Greek yogurt covers carbs to refill the tank and protein to repair.
Carbs~60 g
Protein~25 g
WindowWithin 30 min post-run
8:30 AM
Rehydrate · 500 ml to start
Kick off the day's 2.5 L target. Add a pinch of electrolytes after the morning sweat.
Now500 ml + electrolytes
By 4 PM2.5 L total
Up next · 12:30 PM
Heavy lower-body lift · 35 min
The day's real session. Squats, hip hinge and calf raises, heavy and low-rep. This is what keeps your stride powerful and your legs durable through the build.
StyleHeavy · low-rep
FocusSquat, hinge, calves
Why nowLegs already warm
Per Anthony Turner · heavy, low-rep strength
1:30 PM
Refuel within the hour
Carbs and protein together after lifting, the same window as after a hard run. It's what turns the session into actual strength.
Protein~30 g
WindowWithin 60 min
2:00 PM
Single-leg check · 2 min
A quick symmetry check: a hop or calf raise on each side. It flags any left-right gap before it turns into a niggle.
TestHop / calf raise each side
Looking forEven left vs right
Per Anthony Turner · monitor asymmetry
Up next · 4:00 PM
Tomorrow is a key run, keep legs clear
No heavy legs tomorrow. Today's lift is placed so it clears before your quality run, keeping the contrast between hard and easy sharp.
TomorrowQuality run
Today's liftClears in time
RuleNo heavy legs before key runs
Per Anthony Turner · separate strength from key runs

Protect tonight's sleep
Strength adapts while you sleep. Aim for 8 hours tonight so today's lift turns into the durability you're after.
