Hi Marv, good to hear from you.

You absolutely can do this. Your plan to get going sounds good. Listen to your body & go with what it says. If you need a gentle start that's fine.

I am getting going again after an injury- 5 runs on and I am not yet back up to where I was, but so happy to be running again.

Good luck- although I don't think you will need it! 😃

Hey Marv2312,

I have recently had to take a month long break and was on W7R3 when I had to stop, I was thinking along the same lines as you and rolling the program back to Week 5, but instead decided to give it a go and try the 25min run... which I managed to complete.

The advice I was given on here was at least try it and see how you go, if you need to take a break and split the time into two or three sessions then so be it.

I am back on track on week 8 now and have had a “practice “ run along the way, but glad I tried and didn’t waste time by going backwards.

Let us know how you get on.

Good luck, I stopped due to hurting my shoulder started back again, feels tough but I just have in my head why it is that I want to do it x

Yeah, just pick up where you left off, you lose nothing by doing so. (Let's face it you are not talking nicely enough to yourself already - it almost sounds like you are saying you have to go to the bottom of the class and work your way up again)

It *is* a tough time of year to shoehorn the running in for most of us and it must be so frustrating to have a gap so close to graduating. But don't overthink it... you've put in a shedload of work to get to this point.

I agree with what's already been said, start where you left off, you may be surprised how quickly you get back. You've not got far to graduate & I'm sure you'll do it! Good luck & happy running :D

in reply to Cadley

Pick up where you left off, you should be fine after just a couple of weeks. Your body retains fitness much more than you expect
