Back to it!

So after being ill for sooo long (6weeks) and a hospital stay, I'm feeling good again. I have graduated but have had to go backwards again, last week I ran a mile straight, this week 1.5 miles straight. I usually do running after these straight runs but it's on and off with walking so I don't count them at the moment. Is it okay to just keep adding half a mile each week? I'm not struggling by any means and managed 2.6 miles in 34 mins today with around 13 mins walking built in. Thanks in advance

The normal increase per week is said to be 10%. If you work to that you should be ok. If you do too much too soon you risk injury

Have fun, and i hope you feel much better soon

MW is right, 10% per week, your body will soon let you know if you overdo it. Good luck xx
