Out of town next Thurs-Sat - Should I do a big run weekend?

Like one of the other posts, I am worried about the run.

I will be in Phoenix next Thurs-Sat for a wedding.  I'm moving the RR#2 to Sunday.  Would it be a bad thing to do a 1 1/2- 2 hr run on Thursday, a 1 1/2 hr run on Friday and an 1 hr run on Saturday?  I will not have access to a bike/pool.  I am going to do the RR#2 on Sunday morning when I get back.

 

Thanks!

Peter

    Here's an opinion of one: Do the long run Thursday, 1 hr on Friday and nothing on Saturday...the wedding is enough excitement. You don't want to dig yourself a hole and have a poor RR. Remember that is a key workout and you don't want to go into it shelled.

    Paul- That sounds about right. That way I don't blow up on the RR from being too worn down. Thanks1

    Great advice paul. RR after travel is tough. Make sure everything is ready to go BEFORE you leave for your trip, from gear & nutrition laid out to tires pumped / chaln lubed. Last thing you want to do is get home and have to spend time on Sat night tryign to prep everything instead of chilling out!
