Do I need to re start C25K?

[Whippitt]

Hi folks

I started C25k some months ago, I reached week 3 and then had a kidney stone so stopped. I picked it up 2 weeks ago and ran 2 week3 sessions- which were fine, - I haven’t run now for 10 days as I run in the evenings and the cold has been sharp on my lungs.

My question is - should I continue with the sessions in order or should I go back a couple of weeks? Will it be more difficult when I come to week 5 without having the momentum of 5 weeks previous build up.

Thanks-

I think the advise is try it and see.

Mentor IannodaTruffe has shown figures that dispel any myths about wk 5.

The programme prepares you one step at a time.Trust that.Dont look too far ahead if you are a worrier, but if you like to know , then that is OK also.

The cold oxygen load does neccessitate that you slow down further.

You have put something in the bank and the rest may have given you a boost.

You may be in credit overall. You know better how you feel.So believe in you and go with that.

So you are starting wk 3 now again.? I should not think that would be problem at all.?

Cold weather aside what if you have to repeat 5.1. I loved week 5.

Tthe weather is on the turn so I’ll get out and see how I go- I like the ‘in the bank’ quote I’ll use that as a mantra I think

- thanks for the advice Tbae

Your current strategy sounds as though it is working well for you and going back a couple of weeks isn't going to fix your timetabling or lung issues. (Some folk find that running with a buff covering their mouth and nose helps with the latter)
