I'm back! Where to pick up?

[Lulu_xx]

So, last time I was here I'd finished week 6 in agony finding I had achillies tendonopthy. 7 weeks later here I am again ready to run. I did a bit of a rest in the gym and found 2 mins on the treadmill easy I was just too thirsty to carry on!

Now I'm ready to go back to the plan but don't know where to pick up again. I know I can't go straight back to 25 mins running so was going to start from week 1 but that feels a little too easy after doing the 2 yesterday. Any pointers please?

Some people have found that doing one of each week until they find it is getting harder is an easy way to get back in. I would do wk1 just to ease your healed injury back in gently, you won't really know how it feels until you have done a full run, it would just be one run and better safe than sorry I would think,

I always think 10 minutes is a good starting point. See how you feel and if it feels ok then add 5 minutes to each subsequent run. If it feels tough then you know you need to run less and build from there.

Alternatively you could start at W1R1and see how you feel and if ok, then do W2R1 for your next run and so on. So you're doing the run/walk thing again but going through the programme quicker.

I would do a run from each week until you reach a point where it starts to feel challenging. I started again at week 5 (having not been running consistently since graduating for various reasons). You don't want to be doing too much too soon, but building up gradually again.

Thanks all, I'll start with week 1 on Monday and see how it goes. Thank you again for your help 👍🏻
