Another 8wk break ... but I’m back 👊🏻

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!

the couch is comfy but running in the starting Spring is nicer. Well done for persevering!
