Hello all, have done couch25k twice before and I am back for a 3rd time. However this time I have a purpose!

Following a diagnosis for testicular cancer, surgery followed and so did chemo. Now all that is behind me and I have a different outlook on life.

I have applied for the London marathon ballot and thinking about the Berlin half(March next year)

Does anyone have any experience in running after chemo? how long should I leave it? It’s been about 5 weeks since I finished it. I’m back at work and feeling good.

Thanks all!
