I caught a cold followed by a chest infection in week 5, took weeks to clear then lacked the motivation as didn't want to go back to week 1, but eventually I did, grumbled through the first few weeks again, but my word did it help with the stamina and have found the second attempt not quite as difficult as a result (wont use the word easier as that doesn't relate to me and running)! I'm now week 8 and have yet to repeat a run and I believe repeating those weeks have really helped an overweight, 52 year old, who incidentally gave up smoking in week 4 after 35 years!!!
Good to hear. Think we all need to remind ourselves this isn’t a competition and running 8 minutes or 20 minutes doesn’t matter, the main thing is we are still getting out there and doing it!
At the moment I can’t even climb the stairs without getting breathless so will definitely take it slow 🐌
