Which run do I do next?

[Ally-d]

I've been grounded for the past 3 weeks due to a prolonged chest infection, doc says to stay off running for 2 more weeks , I'm being positive & planning for my next run, the question is which week do I start back at, I'm doing race for life in 23 June & would love to run it all, my last run was w5r3 which I failed to complete.

My opinion only, but if I were you I'd probably start W5 over.

Hope you get better soon. There is a nasty chest infection going round. By best friend is really suffering with it.

Take care of yourself X

Once your fit again perhaps you should try one run of week 4 just to get back into it. If that goes OK try 5/1 and then move onto 5/3, but you just have to listen to your body only you can tell if you feel OK. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

I'd do like Pam said, may be a bit much going to w5r3 after few weeks off. Get well soon

Oh, I'm doing Race for life on the 23rd in Cardiff. Good luck.

Thanks for all your advice, you've said what I hoped you would!! I'm just hoping that my gained fitness hasn't been lost, need to just take it Jenny I guess.

My Race for life is in bury

Maybe go back a bit, by one week, to give yourself a chance to catch up.

Could you maybe have a go at doing some leg exercises at home without tiring yourself out too much. Lots of strengthening exercises online for runners - then your legs might be fighting fit by the time you've recovered.
