I finished c25k in July and since then I have run only once. Shame all round. There. It's out. Should I start from w1 or perhaps w4?

Welcome back. So, you already know you can do this. If I was you I’d lace the shoes and just take a stopwatch. Slow and steady, as always, and see how long you can run for. That will tell you where to restart.

More importantly though you need to work out why you didn’t maintain it last time. Was it the lack of a goal? Set one of it was... book yourself onto a 5k fun run, do this, and as that run approaches book another run.

Good luck

Welcome back Petrometro! 😁😁! No shame required. Post grad has some unique challenges. Good on you for coming back to the forum too. 😉

I agree with unfitnomore, just try a no pressure, no requirements run and see how you go. If you prefer to have a coach (like me), personally I’d try W4 and jusr see how you go. We’ll be around to cheer you on! And you will hopefully be so pleasantly surprised too. Slow is all that is required! 😉❤️
