Rest day..or 3!

Advice please people. I did week 5 run 1 today, run 2 will be Thursday. However, I'm going away for a few days Friday, so won't be able to do 'the big one' Sunday. Do you think I will be ok to do run 3 the following Tuesday, or should I start week 5 again??

You'll be fine to run on Tuesday, there is no need to start the week again (not unless you can't complete run 2 on Thursday anyway). Good luck !!

You'll be fine on Tuesday. The extra rest days will probably help by letting your body catch up. Good luck and enjoy your week end away.

Not what you're looking for?
