Maybe do one of each week runs from the start until you feel you're in your zone and then carry on from there...?

Yes as Oldfloss say just go out there and start jogging first (after a warm-up of course) and see how far you get. This is the best way of knowing where you need to start the progeramme from. Don't set your paramters before you try.

Hi scully, I’m in a similar situation to you. I made it to week 9 in October (albeit I was still finding it a challenge, but I was there!!). I had a 3.5 months break and I’m just starting to get back into it again.

I decided to reset my app and start a fresh. I needed to remind myself how much I enjoy running, rather than going back into it and dreading it.

Good luck with starting back. I’m on W2 R3 and feeling motivated!!

Thanks all who replied to me - I was really despondent about what to do, but your encouragement has made a HUGE impact.... I'm going to worry less, plod on once more and.... well just see what happens. Thank you :)
