Feeling glum ☹️

[sarah65]

Haven’t been able to run all week after doing a couple of post graduation runs. Asthma flare up after a virus and just started some steroids which usually works really quickly. It feels like I haven’t ever run at all !!! Desperate to get back out even if I just have a short run with walk tomorrow - any tips ?

Hello sarah65, i still feel very new at all this c25k and beyond, so not the best person to help. But you have run!!! A graduate even, with many stories of how you reached that point to tell. My husband suffers with asthma and steroids have been too frequent over the years. You can only do what your body allows, so I would just hope that you can be patient and gradually build up again in the way you feel suits you. All the best for your future happy running whenever you are ready. My next run will be W6R3, seems daunting and you must have mastered that quite a while back. You have definitely run more than many many people who don't have asthma to contend with. Well done you!

Thank you for your response. You’re right, I should be patient - I’m not very good at being ill and end up getting annoyed with myself! I’m hoping to get out in the morning all being well so I’ll see how I get on. Good luck with your journey. It’s such an amazing experience. Once you’ve cracked the 25 minutes you will be officially declared a “runner” and then there’s no going back! X
