Long runs during college football season

In a similar situation. Also curious

The best solution for me while in college was always to just do my long run on Saturday morning and then nap before going to the game. Saturdays were pretty much always miserable after a long run though.

I’m a college student training for the Chicago marathon in October. I’ve been doing my long runs on Sunday, as many do, and I’m in a bit of a routine now. Football is a big deal at my school, so much of Saturday is spent on one’s feet during the fall, partaking in various activities. I don’t plan on sitting out from the Saturday festivities. I’m wondering if this will severely affect my Sunday long runs. Does anyone who has been in the same situation have any advice? Anyone ever done Friday or Saturday long runs for marathon training?

I always do my long runs on Saturday. the week before the race I just throw in another recovery run or rest day on sunday. works for me great

If you get blasted and are hungover AF on sunday morning then yeah its gonna suck. Try not to do that too much.

If you are just standing around all day -- meh -- probably not that bad. Listen to your body.

Train to run your best at Chicago

Go to the college football game day festivities

Pick one. You can’t do both.

You’ll have to decide what’s more important to you.

For me, I’d say what’s the point of training hard if you’re just going to sabotage it by standing around all day and getting drunk tailgating. But that’s just my opinion. Decide for yourself which is more important and choose that.

Do a long run on Saturday, it's not brain surgery

Thanks that was actually the best answer

Alright **** it, i'll just tell you whats going on in my life because i dont give a f*k anymore. No more charades.

I've had headaches for a long time as well as auditory hallucinations, i've gone to psychiatric help and they put me under the broad definition of 'Active Psychotic State', which is kind of a leading diagnosis towards schizo. So far Ive gotten prescriptions for xanax, sertraline, elatrolet, risperdal, solian (amisulpride) and seroquel XR (quetiapine) and i've taken them all in varying points of my life. I also have an arachnoid cyst in my temporal fissure part of the brain, still not very clear as to the repercussions or consequences of this

Letsrun is kind of a cathartic way to help me deal with my emotional issues, I don't know, I just enjoy posting here and trolling here. My life was LRC at one point for me and my friend and I would literally talk in LRC quotes to each other, like LRC memes and we had literally our own little language haha. We would talk about letsrun drama, the latest threads that are trending, sooner or later he found a girlfriend (who he's still together with). So I posted on LRC as a way to cope with this because I was kind of sad, this is the same friend who him and i used to joke we would be FAers forever together but then he found a gf before I did. I was admittedly a little angry but I came to terms with it and sooner or later he started to talk to me less and less, which I figured would happen.

I would consistently take on various different personalities on letsrun and make fake threads, none of which relate to who i ACTUALLY am IRL. There are certain things that are true though but they are mired in a pile of sh*tposts and trolls across thousands of posts/threads. Also you can probably deduce from this thread that i'm a terrible gambler, I did in fact lost $2200 on sports betting across mlb/nba/mma, I know NOTHING about MLB btw, I just bet on it because I loved gambling.

Anything else you f*ks want to know? My social security number perhaps?
