Reached the end of week 7 about two years ago, and then injury and a back op brought things to a halt. Haven’t managed to get going again properly since then, but today decided to go out running, even though it was raining. This was a deliberate step in taking back control and not making excuses
Didn’t use the app for the first run - to be honest my aim was just to get going - but realised when we got back (with my wonderful running buddy hubby), realised our walk/run times were quite good.
Planning to start at Week 2 on our next run - hoping this will be a good place to ease back in. Or should I start right from the beginning?
Week 2 may well be appropriate for you, but slow and steady progress is essential in building (rebuilding) running muscles so I would say what is the hurry, start at the beginning.
We have had many over the years who have abandoned the plan because they discovered that they could already run for thirty minutes. Many of them got away with it but a significant number end up not running because of injury. Just because you can do something does not mean that it is wise to continue doing it, which is why training plans are gently progressive.
