After suffering with sinus problems for the last two weeks, I finally did run 1 of week 8. It was hard going and I felt very very slow, but I finished. Not sure if I’ll do all 3 runs this week, but I’ll try.

Well done for a great effort despite feeling unwell. Just take one day as it comes rather than trying to anticipate how you might feel. It's a tough week. I'm just 2 runs behind you so dreading week 8 full stop. Be kind to yourself and get well soon.

I would second the ‘take it as it comes’ idea. Not good to push too hard after illness as your body is partly occupied with repair already. Nothing wrong with slow 🐢😄

Yay ! So proud of you 🏅

I too suffer from sinus problems but swear by otrivine. Have you tried it?
I am on Week 8 Run 1 and should be doing it today. However I have developed a cough over the weekend and an acidic throat and feel off colour. I have come to work as its not physical work but dont feel right. I am gutted as I have stuck to the programme all the way through but today I really feel I cant give it my best so think I will leave it today. If by some miracle I feel a little better later on, I will try. I found Run 7 Week 3 which I did on Sunday very hard going but maybe I was coming down with this bug. Good luck to all today whatever level you are on. xx
