I have been averaging 25-35 miles a week training. I am not going jogging on Saturday should I take off Friday as well?
After I complete this my first half marathon training will start part of this same series.


thanks

    How long are your long runs? Are you looking to compete or just finish? For me if a race is a benchmarking race and within the distances I do for a long run, I tend to just rest the day before, but if it is a goal race I rest the 2 days previous and dial back my mileage a bit the week before.

    My long runs are usually 7.3 miles. I am hoping for a respectable time hopefully close to 90 minutes

    I'd rest on Friday then since it is beyond your normal distance and at a good clip (for me that would be downright speedy, lol!)

    As long as I am close to the 90 mark I'll be happy

    Take Friday off, too, if you want. Or go out and do an easy couple of miles.

    Good luck on your race!

    I normally take Friday off and go for a short, easy run on the Saturday.
