I'm training for half on Dec 10th. I do 3 x 4miles during the week and
1 long run on the weekend. So this week I should do 3x4 and then 10
miles over the weekend. But with Thanksgiving travel etc I won't be
able to do the 10 miles this weekend. I ran 9 miles on Sunday. If I do
the 10 miles on Wednesday will it be too much too early?
(for better visualization)
Last week
M: off
Tu: 4
W: 4
Th: 4
F: off
Sa: off
Su:* 9*
This week can I do:
M: off
Tu: off
W: *10*
Th: off
As you can see there's not much gap between my two long runs. Is this
ok or will I be risking injury? Alternately i can skip the long run
this week and just do 4 miles everyday until next thursday and then run
11 miles on next Sunday. don't know which is better.
Thanks.

Sure. Be prepared to cut it short if you're not up to it, but I doubt
you'll need to.
You can greatly exceed your average in a short window, as long as you
don't push it week after week.

off. From tomorrow onwards I intend to do 4 miles every day until next
Thursday. Then on next Sunday I'll do the 11-12 mile run.
Thanks.
