▲ 3 r/firstmarathon
First marathon training hiccup — long run conflicts with a bachelorette party weekend. What would you do?
Training for my first marathon and running into my first scheduling conflict. My long run is supposed to be 9 miles this weekend, but I’ll be at a bachelorette party — I can realistically squeeze in 3–6 miles Saturday morning, but that’s it.
I’ve been brainstorming a couple of options:
1. Do a longer run Friday morning (before work and traveling) — maybe 7ish miles to get close to the target
2. Distribute the missing miles across the week — add 1–2 miles to each run this week to hit the total mileage
Has anyone dealt with this? What would you do — or is there a better option I’m not thinking of?
