Frustration

[Pearljamrob]

I’ve been sick once before during c25k, but this time it’s really knocked the wind out of me! I can’t see to get a real pace or consistent run going. My lung feels like it’s burning and I can’t stop coughing. I’m basically stuck at w8r1. I’m worried when I’m actually fit enough I won’t be able to complete it or I loose all motivation!! Help!

It sounds like you could still be unwell...maybe a few days rest...make sure you feel better... and then head out for a brisk walk... maybe with your running shoes on and just try a little slow and steady jogette. See how that feels and if it is okay, then gently and slowly carry on with your run.

We don't lose fitness that quickly... and we need to be on form to enjoy our runs... try not to worry. We will keep you going

Might be worth seeing a medic to rule out any possible chest infection ? Get well soon x

Idon't have any advice as I'm new too but I feel your frustration. Hope you get better very soon and are able to press on.
