LindsD Jan 2014 9:11pm, 9 Jan 2014 358 posts	Quote Pin LindsD OK. DILEMMA/RUNNING RELATED QUESTION ALERT DS (Billy Whizz) has decided to parkrun with me on Sat (which is great - it will be his first). I was going to run back as my LSR (11.5 miles in the plan for this weekend - 3 weeks to Watford half). If I do parkrun, come home with Billy (which will take 40 mins) then run from home, do I have to do the full 11.5 or can I do 7.5 then? How long can the non-run bit of my LSR be? Or should i wait till Sunday and do 11.5 then, which will case ructions because of being away from family for a long time on both weekend days. Advice pls...

If the plan says 14 then I will double commute (my work is 7 miles each way) and there's a whole day of work in between them but they still count as far as I'm concerned. Just do the 7.5. You'll have done a bit of speed at park run, had a wee rest for 40 mins, then off you go to complete your mileage.

However you'd better listen to the advice from others here
LindsD Jan 2014 9:17pm, 9 Jan 2014 361 posts	Quote Pin LindsD Thanks Bint. That's the answer I want. I can't really take the time out to run both days for that length and also I do find the runs over 1.5 hours a bit whispers boring whilst 7.5 plus lovely parkrun will make me v happy. And hopefully Billy Whizz too.

Autumnleaves Jan 2014 9:25pm, 9 Jan 2014 3,182 posts	Quote Pin Autumnleaves I'm back - glad people liked the blog - it was fun - Dooogs I don't play anything (paper & comb?) - I fund-raise - so I look after all the lovely people in the audience who support us with extra donations. They are a lovely bunch of people and I spend most of the pre-concert hour & then the interval chatting & smiling. It was the first concert of the New Year so it felt a bit like the start of a new term. However as I am looking after another group of them at a rehearsal all day Saturday I decided not to stay for the second half.

All you have to do is run about 1.92 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
