Total Distance

Had a very good run today, I was very comfortable and ran at an 8:47 min. pace for the first 10 miles and a 8:41 min pace to mile 11.5 and 8:30 min pace to 13.1 miles. I am training to run a marathon on the 6th of June in San Diego and am within 16 weeks of the run.  The problem that i am having right now is that i am out of town every other weekend and some weekends back to back and am not sure how to make the most of the days i have to train on the weekdays and to get my long run in also  ---- Need some advice please-----

Hi Marlin. Welcome to the blog. There's a handfull of bloggers from Idaho Falls including jtshad. Look him up. He's one of the top masters in the country. He can give you some good advice.

Welcome to the blog! Yet another IF'er.

Travel and training can be tough. But, you can run anywhere! To make the most of your training is kinda specific based on mileage goals and work/life impacts. Let me know more about your training routine and I can try to help with some thoughts.

As for me, I run two-a-days (once early morning, once at lunch) to allow for higher mileage, recovery and speed work. I also focus longer run on weekends (usually early morning to minimize family impacts) unless I can find time on some days off to get it in (depending on training cycle).

Burt, thanks for the props!
