W4 r1

[Sparkylee]

Should have started w4 2 days ago but I've come down with a head cold feeling like I'm missing out even though I know it's be unwise to try running im asthmatic and dont want this infection on my chest how long should I rest ? And should I go back to a w3 run or crack on with w4?

Hi Sparkylee, I am sorry that you are poorly. Head cold, chest infection and asthma is more than enough to cope with. I do hope that you are better soon. I expect that you'll know when you feel ready for your next run and as many people on this forum say C25K is not a race. If you need to repeat weeks that is fine. It is a personal journey to a fitter place, take your time and enjoy it when you are ready. Quite a few people have had time off for injury, operations and illness. All the best for your next run whichever you chose and whenever your are ready.
