Do holidays get in the way?

Got to week 6, done run 1 but now on a family holiday in an unfamiliar area. I hope to be able to fit the next 2 runs in while away. Just concerned that the break in routine will break the rhythm.

A short break should make little if any difference. If you get the runs in, great, if not your body will continue to build for a couple of days and then may enjoy the rest with you.

Thanks. I was able to do Weeks 6 day 2 this morning.

Well done on your progress. Week 6 is quite an important week in the programme. I'm finding in week 7 that I feel much stronger and more confident with my running. I'm at a stage where I'm going to fit my runs into my holiday (it's only 30 minutes three times in the week).

I was on week 5 when on holiday. I decided to keep going then realised I had 20 minutes to run which I immediately thought no way. Running an unknown route made it go in quicker. If you can continue do it as you do not want to break the pattern you may decide that as you have left it one week two will not harm you!! My opinion is go for it if possible.
