I do exactly that. Obviously waiting until unday would allow more recovery. Typically however unless I push the long run a bit to hard I'm pretty much good to go by Saturday.

Can't say it's the "best" situation as you're still a bit tired, but ot's WAY better than long ride long run back to back on Saturday and Sunday.

I use the approach you suggest, long run on thursday-long ride on sunday, with all my athletes.
