Going Away for 10 days - speedwork or long run?

[Deleted User]

Hello All,

I'm after some advice. I'm away from 10 days tomorrow with work and will find it hard to keep up with my current training schedule. I'm training for the FLM and want to know whether I should do speed sessions & hill reps whilst I'm away (access to a gym) or say do 5-10k daily to keep my mileage up? I won't be able to do any long runs as will not have time, but can do daily runs at the hotel gym. What would you guys suggest? I did a long run yesterday of 13 miles.

I'd be inclined to run before breakfast and then do a gym session in the evening, if work allows enough free time. That's what I usually do if away on business.

Claire when I'm away on Biz I usually get up and run for around an hour exploring the local terrain (when in Europe) or head for the gym and hard dwim if in the far east (i.e. if its too hot to run outside)...thats after a light brekky in the room.
