THANKSGIVING DAY

For distance:
40 Minutes of Running @ 80-85% of your 5k pace
Focus on running mechanics with the goal of being as relaxed and efficient as possible. You should not feel like you’re struggling at any point to maintain pace, but rather should focus on sustaining your pace as effortlessly as possible.
