I'm wondering if you've gone? I am the Queen of Procrastination so I can totally relate to your post! I haven't however managed anyway near a 10k like you ~ but does it really matter how far "this" run takes you? So long as you get out there and get started ๐Ÿค—

Hey stop beating your self up.

No matter how disaplined we try to be life gets in the way at times.

Get ur running shoes on & get out even for 15mins.

Itโ€™s amazing how you get back into it. You can do this.

Make your initial target something short, undaunting and easily achievable - once you achieve it, you can carry on if you're feeling good, if not you've set a benchmark for next time.

Shortish laps in a park probably better than an out and back, where you might spend the out worrying about the back!

Good luck :-)

Chances are youโ€™ve lost a little endurance, but by what Iโ€™ve read Iโ€™d think you have 5k in you. The advice I read for aiming back into training after 1-3 months out was to reduce weekly mileage and long run buy 40%.

Hope you have/had a good run.
