W4R2 and running has had to stop!

I was doing really well, getting all my runs in and improving and feeling great. I landed in hospital last week with gallstones and everything has had to stop. Im gutted. Not sure where i will have to restart the programme maybe back to week 2 once I am well again.

Has anyone else had to stop and restart? Any advice for me?

Oh lots of sympathy, running will be there for you when you are better.

First thing to do is ask your doctor's advice.

Next thing is listen to your body, - it will tell you when you feel ready to try running and how much is ok.

Sorry to hear that. Concentrate on getting well and ask your doctor for advice on when to start running again. Take it slow and steady and listen to your body; there will be plenty of time for running
