    Hello!  I do a 3 run per week training program:  speed, tempo, long. With cross training in between, one rest day- usually the day before the long.

    I had to skip days this week due to an injury, and am wondering what method best to jump back in.  For example- I still want to do my long on Sunday, which will be 10 miles.  if I only have time for either the speed or tempo run prior to that, which should I go with?  I have already done a 10 mile run the week prior, so I have gone that distance already.

    Thanks for your comments!

    I think that all depends on why you're training.  If you've got a specific race in mind, then that should be your guide.  For a longer race, lactate threshold is more important than VO2, so you should do the tempo.  If your race is on the shorter side (5-10k), then you should do the speed workout.  Alternatively, if your race is a long way off or if you are just running for fitness, then you should do whichever run you like better!

     

    Hope that helps.

    That does help.  I'm training for my first 1/2 marathon, so, the tempo it is.

    Thanks Laughing
