Completed week 7 three weeks ago then had back and hip problems meaning I didn’t continue to week 8,my question is do I jump straight back into week 8 or build up again steady.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Obviously it really depends on how easy you found week 7. Week 8 is just the same but with 3 extra minutes. So if you ran week 7, you could do the extra 3 if you felt you could. But if not then be happy at consolidating back at wk7. If that's a bit too much drop down to the 20 min run or week 5.

Yes,i think on the first run i will try the 28 mins and see how everything goes,as you say dropping back a week or two isnt too bad

Cheers for the reply

Suck it and see is the only answer.

Three weeks is long enough to have lost some condition. Just run really steady with no pressure and you will find how far you can go.

If you get to 28 minutes, fine. If not, you will have an idea where to go next.
