How soon after a bad run do you go back out?
I was set to run 9 miles tonight and barely made it through 5 (6 weeks till half). The temps were really warm (mid 80's - upper 50's is normal) and I think I was dehydrated before I even started.
I'm contemplating going back out tomorrow afternoon to try 9 again but I'm worried I'm setting myself up for failure.
Here are my choices (with pro's/con's):
1) Go back out and give it another try - temps should be good, should be rehyrdrated, able to run my favorite course
2) Take tomorrow as a rest day and try again on Sunday - temps should be great, will be rehydrated, rough course to run, will mess up training schedule for next week
Thoughts? Help me make a decision!
Re: How soon after a bad run do you go back out?
Really depends on how I feel. If I had a bad run because I should have rested instead of running, I'll take a rest day.
If I just had a bad day because I fueled poorly, or my head wasn't in it, or I just had a random bad run, I get out there at the next opportunity. Otherwise I find myself making excuses to not go.

That seems like a long run for a weeknight. I would try to attempt runs like that on a weekend morning. I find that I don't have as much energy at the end of the day for runs like that.
I would try again on Sunday morning.

Give it a try tomorrow...if it doesn't work out, go from there.
I had two bad runs this week - running in the heat is tricky if you haven't done it in awhile. I was really PG last summer so it has been two years since I ran in hot hot weather and I had a hard time this week when the temps went from 40/50 to 80!
