Don't stop whatever happens!

I had been doing well and running 10k once a week plus 2 x 5k, thought I would never stop. Life just became ridiculous, work mostly and slowly my running decreased and stopped. I lost fitness and confidence quickly. I am stumbling along again but weight has increased so I am starting with run/walking and building up. Managed to cover 5k yesterday but I was slowed down by my dog. Pretty thankful about that!!

I agree..... starting again from scratch is much worse than building up from something, however little. Run/walk is a great idea and will build up your stamina and fitness. You are doing really well to get to 5k 👍😀, well done! Keep going, folk on here will be there with you (as well as Max! 🐾).

Welcome back, JoolieB1 . Was wondering where you had been, as last time you posted you were struggling a bit. I'm sure you'll get back into running, in fact I have no doubt about it!

it's the lack of wind that is the key factor, running is so much easier and warmer. A tad lethargic
