A little advice needed ...

Okay so I’ve just completed w3r3, I feel good about it but I’m not sure if I’m completely ready for week 4. Because of my work rota and some other commitments i have had to postpone this run I did today by 3 days, so I was wondering how much that is going to affect my progress in week 4? Would it be better for me to just move on the week 4 anyway or to redo week 3?

Move up to it but if you struggle just drop back....no pressure. Take it easy and you’ll find you’ll cope with it, I’m sure. I was like that before every step up but managed it fairly comfortably. I’m confident you’ll be the same... let us know how it goes.

Yeah I think you’re right, it can’t hurt to try! :)

3 extra rest days will probably help. You’ll have nice fresh legs and you certainly won’t have lost any fitness or conditioning

Move on...there is no need to repeat it...steady and slow..you will be fine.

Not what you're looking for?
