4 months ago I was starting week8, had a slight bad back for 2 weeks so a little break, then went back to running but got a cold that turned into a chest complaint that resulted in having a camera down my throat and lots of tests, finally i know it’s nothing serious and I’ve restarted back at week 3, done 2 runs so far, can’t believe how quickly you lose the stamina. It’s great to be back running tho, and I’m targeting Park Run in 7 weeks time 🙂

Welcome back!😃 It’s so good to get back in those running shoes again isn’t it?

I have just restarted after 6 months on the IC. Loss of stamina? Oh yes!

.. But our cardio & muscles will rediscover themselves! - I keep reminding myself after another slow plod! 😂
