I'm absolutely chomping at the bit to get out there and start week 6 but with this snow it's just not possible! Really demoralised as W5R3 went so well and I wanted to build on that. May have to redo week 5 once the ice disappears! Anyone else having snow issues?

Seem to be just managing to get out, juggled work - not been so bad in Bucks. Had blizzards on and off all day but snow not deep and found a soft surface to run on, appreciate luckier than most ❄️🤞

It's icy pavements that have put me off! I went for a walk after work to test it out and just not possible really. Gutted!

Pavements are particularly treacherous 😖

Many of us.... but, the snow will melt and we will run again...

Lots of people having issues with the snow . Some people having more issues than others ... I am sure you can carry on where you left off ... that’s what I am going to do ..... week 6 apparently catches some people out ?

General consensus seems to be it takes 2 weeks of not running for you to lose fitness so these days are just helping you out with extra reovery time.

Yes annoying isn't it. Can't drive to the gym and can't go outside to run 😡 I considered running round my house but as my next run is 25 mins and my house isn't a mansion, that might not work 😏

Many of us are unable to run due to the snow and ice. I opt for yoga or Pilates on YouTube, brilliant if you have a Smart tv.

You can also find virtual runs.

On YouTube - and yes, Smart TV makes it easy to see
