I am training for the Jerusalem Marathon 21 March followed by Mt Everest Base Camp Marathon 29 May, this challenge has meant that my two rest days ( cross train) per wk has become running days to avoid injury I do the 30 minutes real easy.
Harry, stick to your plan. Probably better to have your planned rest days. You can always split up some higher volume days into multiple runs, which frankly is not a bad thing, but layering easy runs on rest days/cross training days is probably not good in the long run.
I'm going to be on business travel for four out of the next 6 weeks so all I will be able to do is run while on the road. I'm backing off 100/100 pace for the next 3 days and may not run at all and just do other sports that I won't have access to that much in the next while. Time to get on skis and swim a bit more. Timing is probably decent anyway. Yesterday I only had time to run 15 minutes before a meeting so I did that, hoping to run later. At lunch time, I wanted to hit the pool and did not have time for 15 more minutes of running before or after (because I wanted to get the full swim workout in). Then life at work sucked out any remaining energy and by the end of the day, I did not want to do anything and decided to start on backing off running for 4 days before I hit the airplane-hotel-rental car-train-taxi-office building routine with runs thrown into the that mix.
