Some days are better than others and if you overindulged a bit yesterday then today might not be one of the better days. Maybe go back a bit and try an earlier run, doing that will give you some positivity and help you carry on. A break of 3 weeks won’t result in you losing too much fitness. Getting to week 7 is a massive amount of progress so don’t waste the effort you’ve already put in.
U will get there. Don't give up! I started April and graduated September. Hang in there. 😁
I don’t know what your day was like yesterday but if are like a majority you will of eaten differently, drunk differently and slept differently to most other days of the year, each one of those things can put a run out but all together, there are many runners out there today wondering what happened. Have another go later In The week, take the pace right down and see how you get on. Rfc x
My experience of having a break is that I often find pacing difficult, heading off far too fast.........as a consequence, many of my pbs have been following a break.
Just make sure that you are running at an easy conversational pace, as described in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
