I'm almost always in marathon training when it happens, so I either run it Friday and just run slower in my Saturday long run or I push the long run to Sunday.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225876477393309900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-77568947221254829092009-06-17T23:23:54.122-04:002009-06-17T23:23:54.122-04:00I'd move the long run and do the 5k.

But, if you do the 5k on Fri, you should be OK w/the 8 on Sun.
