Chromey Mar 2012 5:11pm, 31 Mar 2012 12,736 posts	0 Chromey Servere stomach issues halted what would have been a rather pleasant long run today. I still have seven miles to do. My question is, would I benefit doing the rest of the run today? I was planning on a sedate off road recovery run in the morning as I'm checking part of the course for our race.

swittle Mar 2012 5:34pm, 31 Mar 2012 16,773 posts	0 swittle I'm in the other camp on this: if you got at all dehydrated, you're not going to improve things by going out again. The quality of your training to date strongly suggests you could can the '7' today.
