Feeling down

[Patjoub]

Had a bad cold and cough this past week and now yesterday I stubbed my little toe so in between coughing and limping no running for me today 😞

Sorry about your mishaps Patjoub, just take a few days off running and hopefully you will be back to normal soon.

Heal well.. feel better soon and know that we and the runs will be waiting

I'm in exactly the same boat and worrying as have a charity 5k in three weeks now but been too ill to even get started. Everyone says it is much better to rest when ill/injured though so you have to remember you're taking a break for the right reasons and it's out of your control. Keep visualising yourself running and even sometimes I find listening to the podcasts helps for the couch to 5k as you're at least preparing yourself mentally! Hope you get back to form soon - use this time to do some stretches too too keep your joints and muscles in good shape

Good luck with your 5k🙂

Have you come across the NHS Strength and Flex podcasts ? Gentle workouts for rest days - thoroughly recommend them. Get well soon x
