      Hi Lynda,

      I'm looking ahead at Week 6 of the 50 mile PR plan and I have a question with the weekend workouts. Saturday calls for a cross country race and Sunday is the 4:30 F4b workout.

      I have a technical cross country race on Sunday that I really want to do that mimics the terrain of my goal race. This race will last around 2 hours.

      Do I just flip flop the workouts Saturday and Sunday – do the 4.5 hours on Saturday and race on Sunday?

      Thanks.

      Flip flop Sat-Sun is ok. You will be a tired for the Sunday race.

      A much better option if you can swing it is to move Monday from week #7 workouts to Friday week #6 and move the Sat/Sun week 6

      I like your better option. So what workout does that leave me with for Saturday?

      Thanks.

      The one that was originally on Friday.

      Fri/Sat/Sun stay in sequence and are bumped up one day by putting the Monday session in on Friday.
