There are going to be days when your training gets hijacked by unpredictable circumstances with work, family or health. All three happened to me this week! Work was crazy on Monday and Tuesday, and then yesterday, I had what I believe was food poisoning. Needless to say, all this put me behind in mileage which has been very frustrating. But I have tried to listen to the advice I give my patients and "let it go to avoid injury". What does that mean? It means do not overload the remaining days of the week with increased mileage to try and "catch up". I'm currently fighting the urge to do so, but I know that a sudden spike in mileage can lead to injury. The most important run is the long run so focus on getting that one in and give yourself some flexibility with the rest.
