Ditching long runs

JohnnyO Mar 2012 7:13pm, 28 Mar 2012 12267 posts	0 JohnnyO Just cut it to a level that ou are happy with. 10 miles might be enough, even less if necessary, but you just need the long slow bit and its all relative. At 10mm, 12 miles would be two hours. Two hours is plenty unless you are training up. Dont ditch the LSR, just tailor it to your needs.

James1982a Mar 2012 7:16pm, 28 Mar 2012 7517 posts	0 James1982a Probably best. Might even be worth touching it down to 2:30 next week, see how I respond the day after.
