Advice please!

Others may know better but if your little toe is sore enough to make you change the way you run then I am not sure you should be running. See how the ankle and the toe feel after your rest day but the quickest way to get behind is run on an injury and make it worse. I know how tempting that is as I had to take a week off before w9r3 - very annoying.

Most people take more than 9 weeks to complete so you also can't get behind as there is no fixed target to finish by. You will get loads of sympathy here if you do have to take a break.

See how you feel after rest day you may be okay if not add an extra rest day. It is not a race take your time. You may be okay after rest day in which case carry on. If it still hurts add an extra days rest what matters is the goal not how long it takes for you to get there. Build it gradually and slowly.

Try doing some ankle rolls and take an extra rest day👍

Thanks all! Sitting here with it elevated & it feels a bit better (or maybe that's the wine & ibuprofen!). Will see how it goes. Was hoping to run on Tuesday to celebrate 5 years since breast cancer diagnosis & a year of full on treatment but if not, I'll settle for a glass of bubbly & carry on with Week 4 when I can! Sue
