I've had an enforced absence from C25K for 3 weeks, and boy did I miss it, I had got to the end of week 7, and done 3 park runs - so had to pick a place to start - so I went back to W5R1.
How is it that possible to be so out of it in 3 weeks !!!!
Found it really difficult to get "in the zone" (running laps around local running track) and have full motivation. But somehow I got distracted in the 3*5min runs flew by, and before I knew it it was over and 12 laps completed (4.8k).
Feeling good for a change, who'ed of thought all those weeks ago - exercise would be fun, and rather missing it.
Keep the faith all - if I can do it - anyone can.

Hi Mark - well done for getting back into your stride (pun intended) and what a great effort after 3 weeks away. I think you're right to have dropped back a couple of weeks to see how you feel, rather than diving straight back into week 7 or 8, letting your legs get used to it again will reduce the risk of injury and you'll soon be back where you were.
Yes, well done for getting back into it. I had to have enforced break at 8 weeks, and dropped back to week 6... I was glad I had, and it did seem easier the second time around. Good luck and keep at it!
