What to do about holiday?

Just wondering how other people dealt with holiday during the programme, I completed weeks 1&2 but have just got back from a week away. Should I continue onto week 3 or repeat a week 2 run so ease me back in? Any guidance would be great! X

I don't think there is a right out wrong answer. What do you feel you can do?

I think I’ll go straight for week three, suppose a week isn’t that long either. Just get abit nervous about not making enough progress I think

Is probably what I'd do. Give it a bash and see how it goes.

You will not have lost much of any fitness over a week. Just hit week 3. Good luck

I’d personally go from where I left off and see how it feels.

If I did it, then brill onto the next one.

If I didn’t, then I’d decide whether I would be able to do it next time, or whether I wanted to do the last run I completed again first.

Nothings ever a failure, they’re just practice runs, and it’s still better than just sitting on the couch :D

Good advice above... and next time you go on holiday pack your kit and have fun being a running tourist! 😄

Just go for it! If you stuggle a little half way through your first run just slow down a little so as to get to the end. You will soon get your pace back to normal on the second run. :)
