I completed the program and then ended up with lots of months off due to injury and other stuff. I started it again and had just finished week 2 but now I have flu and so running (or any exercise) is impossible right now. When I return I'll probably have to start from scratch again so feeling really depressed, frustrated and sorry for myself but know that my health comes first and all that.

Sorry, just venting my frustration, thanks for listening

Poor you, I don't think there's anything I can say to make you feel better but I can tell you're determined to keep going.

Give yourself plenty of time to get fully better, the days are getting longer and you'll soon feel ready to get going again.

Good luck and get well soon!

Starting again is something that many have to do for any number of reasons, so you will be in good company.

The guide to the plan has been created since you completed healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and you may find it useful.

I'm doing it all from scratch also after being on the IC for months.

I'm actually finding it very interesting to compare my journey back to 10k with the original one :)

Less stressed for starters because I know what's ahead, and have better running habits now :)

And starting to see, and adjust bad habits :)

Wishing you many happy miles in your future ☺
