Recovery-pace shakeout at HR 119, 98 % Zone 1 — deload executed like it means it. Strength A in the evening, one day late after Monday’s dry-needling session.

The coach’s read

An optional day used correctly: 98 % Zone 1 at HR 119 — a genuine recovery jog, not a stealth workout. Strength A in the evening, one day late to give Monday’s dry needling room to settle. Small decisions, correctly sequenced.

Part of week 3 of the 30 km build.
