No excuses!

Hi all

It’s been a while, in fact my last run was w6r3 on 7th of December and I was flying.

I got the flu and then tonsillitis which wiped me out for a good couple of weeks, then Xmas happened. I’m back fit and well now and back out in the morning, I was gonna just pick up from where I left, but you guys know best, what do you think?

Happy new year to all.

Thank you

Michael

Glad you’re feeling better! ☺️

I am in the exact same position as you! I couldn’t believe I was out of it for nearly a month...

I restarted the week I finished at.

My first run was shocking, but I think my body remembered what was going on by the second 😅.

I chose to restart the week as I didn’t want to continue onto the next and feel like I’d had a setback if I couldn’t complete it etc.

Hope that helps 🙊

I had to check the c25k app for the date, I couldn’t believe it’s been 4 weeks. Thanks yeah, let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Hey there! I’m glad ur feeling fit and healthy again. For me personally I’d probably repeat week 6 since it’s been longer than a fortnight but u know ur own capabilities better than me so see how u feel. Good luck though and keep us posted 👍🏼

Hey! You could try restarting week 6 and if it’s too hard, go back further. I missed 3 weeks of running in November and after not being able to complete a run from week 6, I went back to week 4. Now I’m week 8 🎉 see how you feel!
