Doesn't have to be quick just needs to be completed πŸ˜€ And a workout after, now that's impressive!

Thank you

Yes I only speed up if feeling ok.

Doing gym after feels good too but if feel that I'm struggling or not feeling great next day I will go back to doing gym on my rest days

Brilliant! Try to build some stretching into the gym stuff. I find squats great after a run, I'm up to 40 or 50 post run in sets of 10 or 20 with other stuff in between. The first one hurts but its good for the glutes!

Like you I feel energised after my run and do some aerobic style stuff for a bit then stretching then some yoga poses for flexibility πŸ‘πŸ˜
