Just take it nice and easy outside. See how it goes. You were up to week 8 on the treadmill, weren't you? I wouldn't have thought you need to step back as far as week 1. If you find it too easy, why not try a week 4 run (or possibly start of week 5) next time. I think you probably just had a bad run last time out.

Thanks for your supportive comments Adam I think I might as well start from scratch but I probably won't take as many rest days until I get to the week 4 podcasts

Hey miss wobble I had been using a treadmill and I tried week 8 outside and discovered how much harder it is out on the open road 😁 I want to do it properly and I hadn't realised how much the machine was doing for me still it's all a learning curve

Make sure you take your rest days, they are really important.

I agree with Adam no real point in repeating weeks 1 to 3, however, if you must go back to week 1, it might make more sense to cut down the number of repetitions rather than the rest days.

Good luck whatever you choose to do!
