Taking a break

I completely forgot I had minor surgery booked this week (mole removal) anyway I had already done run 1 then my after care sheet says not to exercise for at least 48 hours. So when I can run again is it best to do run 2 or 3 or Just start the week again? I’m on week 3 currently.

I would just pick up at run 2, it’s only like having a few extra rest days. 😊

I ran on Wednesday, would have gone on Saturday stupidly didn’t realise that I can’t exercise. You’d think it would have been obvious doh!!!

You don't lose condition for about a fortnight, as mentioned in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... so carry on where you left off.

Keep us posted.
