Start a fresh

So tomorrow morning I’m planning on starting again after my last run off wk 2 completed just over two weeks ago. I really hurt my knee and although it’s only recently got better we have had a three day storm here in Spain. Tomorrow I plan to go again I’m thinking of going back to week one to see how I go rather then wk2run2. I’m going to take it slow and see what happens. 🏃🏻‍♀️

I’ve just done w2r3 after an 8 day break. It was fine. I don’t know if it was correct!

That sounds good as you are only just over a week out of plan I guess I’m a tad longer plus hurt my knee so just dont want to overdo it. Well done on your run 👌🏼

Are you doing knee strengthening exercises?

Sounds like you might want to consider that.

Full marks to you though for sticking at it. Really impressed

Happy running

Have done a few but not daily, I should start to be more focused.

Sorry to hear about your knee problem and hope it's properly mended now? I think it's a good idea to start with a (steady) Week 1 run and see how you go. If you breeze through that then hopping straight into Week 2 should be fine. If not, slowly work through week 1 again and then move on once you've completed three in a row. Good luck with it tomorrow, let us know how it goes.

Great advice thank you. I’ll let you know how it goes and if my knee holds up! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
