Having done it before you know you can do this and as an undergraduate I admire you for that.... Maybe the times not right now... Stop beating yourself up and be kind to yoursef... Come back when your ready😄

Why can't you? You could if you wanted to

You have to want to. Maybe you don't want it badly enough

Maybe running is just not for you

not being negative here. Just playing devils advocate.

Have you identified the reasons for not following through?

I hope you'll come back to the programme. You'll get lots of support but the main driving force has to be you

If you don't have enough fingers to count how many times you have done week 1 in the past 3 months, that would suggest you have done W1 at least 11 times in 12 weeks (or have suffered finger loss at some point), which at least shows commitment to continuous starting.

Why not try W2 this week?
