Flexible Training Schedule


I really, really prefer to run my long runs on Saturday mornings. This is generally what works well for my schedule. I enjoy getting an early start and at the latest, I am finished by mid to late morning. And that gives me the rest of the day to catch up on errands, do laundry, etc. Plus, the biggest advantage for me is that running long on Saturday lets me take Sunday as a REST day which allows me the cushion of a day before I head back to work and the office.

Looking at this weekend's weather forecast, however, I am seriously considering running long on Sunday, rather than Saturday. Lingering showers and very windy conditions do not sound very appealing to me at the moment as I am planning to go 20 miles this weekend – my longest distance thus far ever!

So, more and more, Sunday is looking like my preferred day for running those 20 miles. The weather forecasters are predicting a 'typical fall day' and that is exactly what I am going to need to stay focused and motivated!

Now, all I have to finalize is the route. I am considering either the Delaware River Canal or Doylestown. More to follow on that decision later.

Happy and Safe Running!
John
