TheEd,
I presume by "active recovery" you mean recovering while still getting in easy runs yes?
I was still sore yesterday, although less then on Monday, and sore this morning although less again. I did a 30 min easy this morning (4:55 / K avg HR of 142 BPM) and will do another easy tomorrow and step it up to a 40 min.
Your guidance of waiting until muscle soreness retreats sounds like a good rule of thumb, so I'll likely await until next week to return to quality sessions and stick with easy runs through the rest of this week.
I am looking fwd to some 10K's as that's what my training has been focussed on. So I'm game to keep moving fwd with training so long as I continue to see slight improvements and don't see any on set of injury on the road ahead.
I'm starting to see as this is my 3rd season back at training that the Fall is the time to run a good PB the heat in the summer makes things tough.
