If you miss a workout

[mrs.jacinthe]

as noted in a scheduled training plan ... what do you do?

I had a migraine yesterday.  Combine that with super-poor air quality and general tummy troubles, and I skipped my swim workout last night.  However, I'm scheduled for 24,000 yards this week and missing 4,000 yesterday means that I have 3 choices: 

1. Make the remaining 4 pool workouts 5,000 yards instead of 4,000.
2. Skip it altogether and just do 20k this week.
3. Double up tomorrow and do a "two-a-day" with a 4k workout in the am and then a 4k workout in the pm.

I suppose I could also move the workout to Sunday, but that means I'd end up doing 12 days in a row without rest, and that's not a valid option.

WWYD?

I would probably double up one day, but I'm kind of obsessive like that.

[wambam]

I would skip it.

Number 2.

I would meet in the middle and do 2 x 4000k + 2 x 5000k.

[ebeth]

I'd do 2x4K and 2x5K, then you're only short 2K for the week

[joenali]

Depends. If I had time to make it up
Later without messing anything up I would. Otherwise life happens and I don't know a single person who has done 100% of their plan and would be fine just saying "oh well" and move on.

One missed workout won't kill you.

[zoidberg]

Skip it.

[trigal]

Skip it!

[katinthehat]

skip it

Skip it. Or do something gentle on your scheduled rest day. Gentle being the key here. Yoga, a long walk, a long but easy swim at the beach etc.
