Just laced up the old knee sleeves and wondered—how many of you still make those 10+ mile Sunday runs a priority in the off-season? I know, the off-season grind is real, but nothing beats the mental reset of a long, solo run when the sun’s still up. Is anyone else treating Sunday like a non-negotiable, or has the crew shifted to shorter, faster midweek sessions? Exact pace doesn’t matter—just how you’re structuring it for recovery vs. pure endurance. Would love to hear how others are balancing it these days.
Sunday runs: Is anyone still logging those big miles?

So what about those who ditch the long Sunday runs and switch entirely to short, fast weekday sessions—what changes do they notice in their performance? For example, people doing three or four short but quick workouts a week instead of 12 miles—are they losing as much endurance as they expect, or are they compensating with other adaptations? To me, this feels like taking a risk especially before the racing season, because I’m curious whether programs that look “short” are actually enough for long‑term supercompensation.
