Goofy Training Question

[Zela]

So I am doing the goofy.....I am following John Bingham's Walk/Run marathon Program, except I am cutting out the Thursday run and completing half of Saturday's distance on Friday. I hope that makes sense. Anyways....there are a few cut back weeks where The long run on Saturday is 8 miles and the run on Friday is 4 miles. My question is : Would it be safe to skip my 4 mile on Friday and do a half on Saturday one of these weekends? Essentially it would be about the same mileage, but I just wanted to see what everyone thought.

Yes, it would be ok. Actually, I think it would be great. You need to see how your legs feel after the half and how quickly you can recover.

I agree with Cecilia. I think that would be a great idea. I was actually thinking about doing the same thing myself in a few weeks, but I have to see if I can find a close half marathon.
