Time out for illness

[Spoons]

I was 1 run off completing week 4 when I was struck down with a nasty cold. I've been unable to run for a whole week now and still don't feel like i have the energy to get those running shoes on. I'm hoping to get out again soon but should I complete a week 3 run to get me back on track. I'm really worried I've put myself back and will struggle to get back into it. Any advise would be gratefully received.

Hope you are beginning to feel better. I am a newbie myself so not really able to give advice except I can share your frustration at being held back. I have only completed week 2 and have got an ankle injury ( I bashed it on the sofa -not running but I went running on it soon after) I missed a week and still can't see me running for a while until I can walk on it properly.i would make sure you feel properly better before you go out again. I hope it's not too long for you.the waiting seems to go on forever but I'm sure we will get there.

Thank you, I really hope I turn a corner so I can get those trainers on and start pounding the pavements again, never thought id get so into running! Bad news about your ankle, I hope it starts to feel better soon, it's so frustrating isn't it? We will get there soon I'm sure.
