- Jog/walk 1:30 for recovery –

Cues (A). Settle early into rhythm. Keep arms loose, cadence quick, and effort steady. Don’t let your posture slump: run tall, even when breathing gets heavy.
Feel (A). Each rep should feel controlled yet challenging, like you’re working hard but without ever tipping into a grind. The third rep will take focus, but you should finish knowing you could do one more if needed.
