Starting all over

Starting again managed, first time to complete Cto5k and run for almost two years despite developing a balance and migraine disorder. A flare up 6 weeks ago left me on the sofa. Ready to give it another go.

Sorry to hear of your health issues, but be brave -- you did it before and you can do it again.

I know, because I graduated last year, then had to stop running due to health issues. After 4 months of frustration and getting to the point where I thought I'd never run again, I put the kit back on and started again from Week 1, and worked my way through the programme again. Despite not feeling entirely "back to normal" I managed to re-graduate about 6 weeks ago and have been running ever since. I have had to pay close attention to my energy levels, and usually manage 2 runs per week, rather than my original plan of 3. But, hey, 2 is better than none, right?!

Good luck with your restart. I look forward to seeing your updates 🏃🏻😊
