Just a quick question around mileage....albeit a complicated one to explain!

Prior to going on holiday I had been trail riding on my mountain bike (twice a week for around an hour per session) as well as running around 7 miles for 2 sessions (an hour each session)

However, when away on holiday I didn't have my bike, so I changed to running 3-4 sessions per week of 5 miles each. Over the duration of 16 days I ran 8 times, for 38 miles. (19 miles per week average)

Now I'm home, would it be ok to up my 2 sessions to 10 miles each for the running, whilst still doing the 2x1hr session on my MTB.

I know the rule is to increase mileage by 10%, so is this based on weekly mileage or per session? (if it's weekly, than I should be fine)

Cheers
Matt
