Unwell and worried

I completed W6R1 on Monday evening, a full 25 minutes of running and loved it however, I started with a cold on Wednesday and now it’s on my chest but I’m so worried that my body will forget how to run. Does anyone know how long I’ve got before I have to start from the beginning again 😩😩😩😩😩😩

Your body knew how to run when you learned to walk, it won’t forget! As for fitness level, that won’t go down for a couple of weeks, so you should be fine.

Thanks, I’m going to try tomorrow or Sunday if I can stop coughing

If the cold is on your chest it won’t be a good run. Let it clear and you’ll be fine.
