1st run after a 3 week break

[Tazzy_wazzy]

Because I’ve been on my holidays I hadn’t run for 3 weeks. I was at W8R1 but I decided to run W6R2.

Blimey! It almost killed me. I did manage to run it but found it really hard after such a long break. With any luck I’ll do better next time, lol 😂🏃‍♀️🤪

In July I had a weeks break and my first run back felt really tough after that it was like I never stopped. Hope you enjoyed your holiday 😊

Just shows you that if you are off running for more than two weeks then starting again is pretty tiring as what happened to you.

A good week to restart after being off running for more than a month is run 1 of week 3 of C25K, however, if you are off running for more than 6 months it's bett to restart at week 1.

Thanks for the info, I’m sure I’ll get back into the swing of things soon

Well done.

You lose next to no condition in the first two weeks of non running, but what does get lost is the ability to pace yourself......... which probably explains the difficulty of the run, rather than having lost condition.

Looks like I did ok then

Welcome back! I’m just ready to start back after my month of injury - I was at week 7 and I’m going to try week five, so I’m planning a similar reversal 😁 You managing yours has given me confidence 👏🏻

[Tazzy_wazzy Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

You keep going and do it at your own pace. I’m sure you’ll be ok

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Tazzy_wazzy]

Thank you! I hope so! 🤞🏻

I didn’t want to come home, it was wonderful x

[hamit Graduate]

We are off to spain later this month so expect I will have a hard first run on my return.

[Tazzy_wazzy Graduate in reply to hamit]

You’ll be fine. I hope you have fun on your holiday as well x

Hi Tazzy_wazzy 😊 Just checking in on you to see how you're doing this week? Hope you're well xxx

[Tazzy_wazzy Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Since I came back from Spain I did a couple of runs. But now I’m away in Wales for the weekend so my running has taken a back seat again. Next week I plan to start again plus eat a little healthier to loose a bit of weight. I’m absolutely fine and thanks for asking. I hope you’re doing great too x
