Missing 2 weeks

[Runningchamp19]

I’m on W4R3 and still finding this C25k malarkey challenging, but doable. I am about to go on holiday for 2 weeks and for various reasons I know it’ll be impractical to run while I’m away. So does anyone know how I manage picking up running again on my return? Do I start all over again at W1 (please say no!) or pick up where I left off but go a bit slower? I’m 64 so need to be realistic. I would really appreciate any advice from all you experienced runners. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and explains that you lose next to no condition with two weeks of non running.........pick up where you left off.

Enjoy your holiday and enjoy your journey.

Ah, that's brilliant news, just what I wanted to hear! Thanks Iannoda, and thanks for the very informative link too.

If it's only 2 weeks you should be able to start where you finished your last run 😊

Thanks Buddy34, Iannoda said the same. So I can go away happy without thinking I'll be back at square one. I'll defo pick up again in a fortnightd's time where I left off ....
