Have not run since 4th April - where shall I restart?

Hi all,

I graduated at the end of March and did a couple of runs after and got injured 🙁

My question is, at what week shall I start back at?

I have not been active in this time at all. Hope I haven’t undone all my progress!

Many Thanks

Can only sympathise after a thigh injury early March but have continued with Pilates and yoga and swimming, been very down about not running. After physio advice I re started on Week 6 this week, 2 months later, discussed the program with him and agreed the week to start! But on the treadmill not outside, so really depends on your injury. Managed Runs 1 and 2 ok but set speed pretty slow just to get back into it. Everyone’s different, good luck, just have a look at the Weeks and dive back in carefully!

As for any of us, all you can do is to go out for a gentle jog with no specific preconceptions and see what you can comfortably manage.

Whatever the outcome, and you may surprise yourself, you can match that level of fitness to a week in C25K and follow the plan from there.

Great advice from IannodaTruffe and Oldfloss to your MrsD1993, but if you graduated at the end of March, I don't see the word Graduate next to your username !!?

Not what you're looking for?
