Haven't run since xmas day and so worried I'll have lost all momentum.........

[Ruthy180]

I did week 5 run 3 (20mins) on xmas day which was super hard but then bad weather, bored teenager, visiting family etc put me out of my routine. Now I have a hideous cold and can't possibly run. Worried by the time I'm well enough to run it will have been 10/11 days since my last run. Has anyone else had to have a break of this long? How hard was it getting back into it?

It generally takes two weeks before you will notice a drop in your condition, so just pick up where you left off and if you don't manage to complete it then you repeat it.......simple.

Happy New Year

Hi Ruthy, sorry to hear you are not well...

I agree with lannodaTruffe, you have done Wk5 R3, so just give Wk6 R1 a go when you are completely fit and well... and I hope you feel better soon,

Good luck let us know how you get on.😊xx

Wow! Wk5 R3 on Christmas Day shows real dedication! With that kind off spirit I'll reckon you'll manage Wk6 R1 regardless of a longer break!

Happy New Year!
