Well I would say try maybe a week 1 and see how you feel. I’m on week 5 for third time round. You just need to start somewhere I reckon. See what others say too and how brave you feel 😁👍🏻

Yes I thought that it’s a bit disappointing running changes everything mentally I enjoy it

If you really feel you can't tackle week 7, I'd only go back to week 5 or 6. You're not going to lose it all in a few weeks.. maybe the intervals would be psychologically easier to start you off again.

I had time off because of 'life' and started back where I left off..

Am only on week 6 though so not experienced at all.. but I know if I had to go back to the beginning it would be tough to summon the motivation.

I’m going to go for a jog time myself and take it from there depending how long I last for hopefully it’s a good time

Then you will! 😁 I'm struggling to get out once a week at the mo so each run has been a real struggle.. I'm sure attitude is 80% of the battle!

I think it is attitude but it’s how I feel after makes me want to carry on

Perhaps just try a run from each week until you have found where you need to be?
