Intro: This is a quick summary of Tuesdays with True Love: Injury, Slant Board, & Zzzzzzzz… from Seth James DeMoor. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

Middle‑distance day: 15 mi (≈ 24 km) at ~7:45 min/mi (4:50 min/km).
Recovery focus: daily slant‑board calf stretches to protect Achilles/soleus on hills; plus massage‑gun/foam‑roller work.
Sleep is the #1 recovery tool – aim for earlier bedtime and short naps.
Simple run‑walk intervals are the backbone of the week: 4 days of 4 min run / 2 min walk × 5 reps (or 3 min/3 min if you’re newer).

Workout Example:

4 days per week
  • Warm‑up 5‑10 min easy jog
  • Main set: 4 min run @ comfortably hard pace, then 2 min walk
  • Repeat 5 times (total ~30 min)
  • Cool‑down 5 min easy jog

Adjust the run length (e.g., 3 min) or pace to match your current fitness. Use the slant board for 3‑5 min calf stretch after each session.

Closing Note: Give this interval session a go today, tweak the paces in your Pacing app to fit your level, and pair it with a quick slant‑board stretch and solid sleep. You’ll be back on track and stronger in no time!
