After a great run on Friday back up north where I grew up, today has not gone to plan.
Today is the first time my body had said no and I had to stop week7 Run 3. I was about half way through and all of a sudden my ankle said enough and a shooting pains up my left leg, next thing bum hit the grass and that was it. The previous lap I was struggling but thought I could push past it.
It is a warm day today, usually do runs early evening and think mixture of heat and having a busy, emotional two days as it was my nans funeral on Friday have taken its toll.
Next thing is do I start the week again or just do one final 25min Run and then move onto week 8??
Happy running everyone. X

To answer your question directly, you only need to repeat the run you didn’t finish - not the whole week. More importantly, be gentle with yourself. Sounds like the last few days have taken a lot out of you physically mentally and emotionally, so allow yourself some rest. The run will still be there in a couple of days and you won’t lose fitness in that short time. Take a couple of days off then pick up from where you were.
Thank you! Having someone else say to take it easy was what I needed, nothing like a total stranger telling you to do something as I am really bad at listening to my husband who said exactly the same thing!
Great effort there after a stressful time. Hope the ankle is ok... could be worth resting it more than a day. As Arthur said, you only need to repeat that run. Hope you’re good to go and more relaxed next time... you’ll get it.
