Family road trip next week, how do you keep training on track?

Training plans

Looking for advice from people who've been in a similar situation.

I have a marathon in ~10 weeks and currently in the middle of my training plan. Our family has a road trip in the coming week, long driving days in different places, flexible schedules, with 2 kids in the car.

I think I may cut the runs a few times and keep several strength activities in the hotel. A few things I'm wondering:

  • Will that affect the entire training plan? What's the best way to calibrate it?
  • How did you adjust your plan in past similar experiences?
  • Any tips I can follow during the trip?

Appreciate any real-world experience and suggestions!
