As runners we live and breathe by our running schedules (or some of us do anyway)!
For some , a long weekend means more time to train which is positive and means we can enjoy the process, however, often other things come up, like a weekend away, or social gatherings which require flexibility and vast amounts of motivation to work around. Here are some tips:

Shorter Sessions: If time is tight, consider shorter, high-intensity workouts to maintain progress. A short/quick run is better then no run.
Change the format: Try a different type of workout you enjoy, like a group fitness class or outdoor activity, to keep things interesting, or go and run with friends to mix things up.
Active Rest: Instead of completely stopping, use the break for active recovery activities like yoga or a light walk
Schedule: Plan your workouts for the week, including those around the break, to stay on track.
Listen to Your Body: Don’t push yourself too hard after a break. Start back with lighter weights or shorter distances and gradually increase intensity.
Remember, consistency is key, but some flexibility is okay. By adapting your training during a break, you can minimise setbacks and return to your routine feeling refreshed.
