After the success of run 1 I came down with the first cold of the season. Dry cough, swollen throat so no running for me. I'm going to write off the rest of this week and start again on Monday. Hope everyone else is having a better week. Happy running to you all :)

Feeling your pain!! I've also had a set back - have started again at week 6 and will just see how it goes! I thought I would find it harder after having 2 weeks off but 'whilst challenging' its not as bad as I thought - am still doing interval runs though and not tackled another full run yet - Take it easy, get well and back on it!! :-)

Thanks, am still on the sofa though. Hoped I'd be running this morning but still feeling rough. Hope you get back on it too :)
