Moving Wed's 5k Test to the Weekend

 My OS Week 13 testing is next week. I would love to do the run test at a 5k road race. But, my self-coaching fu is struggling to figure out how rearrange everything to move it from Wednesday to the weekend.

I am also wondering if the benefit of racing a 5k will be negated by juggling everything around, and I should just test on the same course I've done the last 2 times.

Thanks - any help would be appreciated!

    Run a 5k with people!

    Is it a Saturday 5k? I'm a fan of

    -switching the 5k and the weekend run

    -Saturday 5k and biking Sunday.

    I agree with Beth.  Anytime I have a chance to run in a race for my test I do.  Even if it is a week off when the plan says test day is I'll switch it up.  I think for me it is the only way to really show what I've really got.  Just switch the Sat. run to the Wed. or whenever it says to test, take off the Friday before the race, and race Saturday.

    Good luck, and Go Hard!!
