I follow a failrly structured training plan, but not bein a pro and running a business and having a family, life occasionally gets in the way and i'll miss a workout here and there. What is better to do...try to make up the workout at some other point (keeping rest/recovery in mind) or just skip it and move on with life. I'm not too concerned about missing some easy recovery type workouts (easy spins, slow easy runs) -- more concerned about missing key LSD or higher intensity (hill repeats, etc.) workouts. Example, this past sat was my planned long ride (on the trainer), but had to skip the day. Sun was my palnned long run day (1:40 planned). Instead I did 1:45 ride on the trainer and a 1:05 run later in the day. Was that OK or did i mess myself up?? Monday was a planned rest day, which I did.
