Another chest infection, another enforced period of rest followed by a period of lethargy meant it’s been another 8 week break from jogging ... that’s 2 in 5 months.
After my first 8wk break (after W7 I think) I picked up where I left off and graduated, although the first week was harder than hard. This time, I decided to get the 5km clocked up and did it by interval walking / jogging (3mins / 2mins) to ease back in. I’m hoping to be back to jogging 5km within a couple of weeks.
Time today was a super snailish 51.01!! 🐌 but I’m just happy to be back in the mindset of putting my trainers on ... it was a tough decision cos the sofa was soooo comfy

Well done for cracking on with it today! 💪🏻 I’ve had to restart after a huge break due to illness and life (now on W3R1). It’s frustrating when you’d previously got so far with it! Keep it up. And 🐌s are the best! x
Isn’t it just?! It’s easy to give up after a break, I have come up with every excuse going but I’ve got my head back on track, just need the body to do its bit. Good luck!
