My last run was about 10 days ago now Week 8 run 1 - I was doing great really enjoying then life got in the way, we went away for the weekend and work has just been horrendous - I’m hoping/planning to get out Sat morning but not sure whether to go back a bit on the programme or just try week 8 again - any advice please

Try doing W8 R2. You should be fine. If you struggle, do W7R3 the time after.

You don't lose significant condition in two weeks.

Carry on where you left off.

Thank you - I guess Saturday will tell!

I had about the same time off after week 8 as I got a horrendous case of tonsillitis. I only ran after I felt completely better and it was surprisingly fine. In fact the rest seemed to do me good. I imagine it won't be as bad as you think.
