Hi .. Few weeks off since W9R3 graduation

[Gordo49]

Hi

I’ve had a few weeks break from running due to holidays/ hot weather . Have been repeating W9 of the app to consolidate and improve my speed . However, after a space of nearly 3 weeks found I had lost some of the fitness and struggled with a 30 min run and especially breathing trying to catch my breath( haven’t experienced this before)

My plan was to repeat say W5 of the app onwards as a strategy.

Any views/ ideas/ comments appreciated?

Regards

Gordon

It sounds like you’re going too fast if you can’t breathe. Slow down, plod along and get your body used to 30 minutes again. Going back to week 5 seems a bit much to me - maybe week 6 or 7?

Thanks for your advice will try going a bit slower and maybe back to Wk 6 or 7

Did you manage all 30 though? No point going back to week 5 if you can manage 30 minutes.
