Use it or lose it Damien!!!

That said, you will probably surprise yourself how quickly things start to feel good again.

At least you know a safe and reliable training plan to get you there.

Take it easy.

Hey Damien! Its good to see you back mate. Was wondering how you were doing and if all was well. Hope work is settling down for you now. No worries, you will be back in tune in no time.

Cheers Decker. All is good and yes I’m planning to get back in shape during January. I needed this Forum to get my running legs back in motion.

Snap - I'm in the same boat. Only a couple of runs in October, none in November and three in December (one today) due to various circumstances and I can't believe how fast my fitness has fallen away (I was a regular 5-ker around the 34m mark). Last week I struggled to put in a slow 2k and I've been out today and had to put some walks in a 2k - mind you that might be down to Christmas excesses Like you I feel that I'm almost having to start again!. Saying that I'm thinking I may well go back to the C25k programme and start maybe at Week 4. I'm never going to let this running lark slide again if I can possibly help it - it's too depressing!

Good luck with getting back into it; think you're right to take your time and you will get there.

I have eaten and took part in too many Christmas parties and nights out with Customers. I’m after having a quiet Christmas. But I am looking forward to a healthy New Year and looking forward to getting back in shape. I think we will both be back on track soon. Good luck to you too.👍

Nice to hear from you Damien. Welcome home It’s tricky when you get out of the rhythm of 3 runs a week. I have been working on doing that, even if the week day runs are shorter, or 30 mins of intervals. Good luck and keep us up to date with the progress

Well 3k is not bad after your break. Keep going and you'll soon be back to your previous running achievement 🏃
