Having not run for 3 months because of illness my hubby started at week 3 found it quite easy so jumped to 4 and so on till he found his level again . Well done for getting out there again .Pat

Hey join the club! I did the same, I'm back now doing 4.5 miles 3 times a week. My advice? JUST DO IT!! Do it for the fun of running, start and do what you can do and the next run push it a bit more, next time push it a little more and so on :0) it's tough to get going again but it doesn't take long to get back in the grove. Listen to your body and not your head, if your head is staying stop then distract yourself, if your body twangs STOP!

Why do you want to run? Latch on to that and go :0)

Good luck!
