I got as far as wk2r1 then came down with a bad hacking cough and sore throat, so not done any exercise for nearly 2 weeks! It's taking ages to go! Think it might be wise to go back to week 1 once I'm better? Bit frustrating as my knees were starting to ache less and feel better. Hoping to get back into it next week.
Argh, cough, back to square one?: I got as far... - Couch to 5K

Good luck. Restart is the best idea, but you may find a bit of residual fitness will help those knees. 😊 Hope so. And do stay slow. These winter cough things are a pest & need to be taken seriously. Glad you’re feeling better. 👍

Go back to week 1 if you want to! There is absolutely no shame in doing so.
You're still very new to the program so I suggest you do go back and before long, you'll be back in the swing of things!
