To Repeat or Not?

[Fishgirl]

Was away at xmas-no access to gym or childcare-back home now & gyms here limited hours due to new year hols.... So not done anything (apart from eat & drink😜) since 23 Dec when I completed week 5.... So question is on Tuesday do i repeat week 5 or go for week 6?

Personally I'd drop back a week and redo a run or two from w4. I doubt you'll have lost much fitness during the Christmas break but it's better for the confidence to be able to complete a run easily than to attempt the next one and be unable to complete it. Good luck what ever you decide to do

You'd probably be fine for week 6, but as AM says, the confidence pickup is nice if you go back a week.

Agree, perhaps repeat a little bit. I'd do week 5 again, as it starts gently and then ramps up at the end.

U guys have confirmed my 'gut' instinct to repeat week 5, starting Tuesday & then spin wed, swim thurs & next run on sat..... Plan!

I agree with everyone above. It'll probably make you feel more confident if you repeat a week.
