Hi all, I'm a 7 week post graduate, I've been running 5k 3 x week since completing c25k.
For the last 2 weeks I've been really poorly with toncillitis which then turned into Quincy's!
I'm feeling much better and am itching to get back out running, but not sure whether I carry on where I left off or not?
Will two week's of not running make a difference, should I build up gradually?
I'd appreciate any advise 😘
Well done for completing the programme of course 
I've been in quite a similar situation to you a few weeks back, not having run for a bit. I had also been running 5ks and 30 minute runs, though not quite 3 times a week(!). What I did which seemed to work, was to run Week 5 Run 3 again, just to give myself confidence, which it did. Then I did week 6 run 3 for the next run, then for my third run getting back to it, I did the full 30 minutes. I repeated that once more I think, then went for 5k, which was fine.
Your mileage may well vary, and you might not need to work back up to it like I did, but it seemed to work for me I've also found the C25K+ podcasts really really helpful. I'm doing the speed one next, having done the "stepping stone" one a couple of times.
All the best! Neil
Thanks for the reply 😊 that sounds like a good plan!
I'd been using Laura's podcasts as part of my consolidation, there fab. Love listening to someone in my ears...
Will you report back and tell us how you get on? It’d be great to hear. I didn’t really enjoy the music on the C25K podcasts, so I used the app, but I’m loving the Audiofuel stuff, although Laura’s insistence upon keep saying 1-2-3-4 every few seconds, is helping me to develop grace lol!
Of course I will😊 I used the c25k app and listened to my own music, but like you love the audiofuel music on the podcasts! Btw love the "developing grace" comment 😆
So went out for my first post illness run...all was fine 😊Ran with my music at my own pace and didn't push it, nice little 3k! No breathlessness, sore legs etc. Feeling confident about getting back to my 5k runs 💪👍
Well done, really pleased it went well. It’s nice to get back to it after a break, isn’t it?
You will not lose condition in two weeks.
No, carry on, maybe just do 3k run first time back...
Starting running again after 5 months. Where do I start?
Right where do I get my badge :-D
Where do I restart from? 
Where do I find the bug?
Where do I start again?
