Behind schedule - bah!

I did Week 7 Run 1 on Thursday last week. I haven’t run since thanks to catching a bug from one of my colleagues.

I’ve been in bed all weekend with a sore throat, aches and feeling very tired. I was hoping to go for a run tonight but it’s been affecting my chest today (not a good combo with asthma).

Bah! I was doing so well ☹️

Get yourself well. It will all still be there when you're better. Best wishes.

Sorry you’re not well. It’s frustrating but rest up and get back out when you can. I’ve just ran 30 mins after being ill for a fortnight. Wasn’t sure I would manage it but felt surprisingly good even if I did use a load of tissue on a runny nose 😢

Well done on getting back out there. I hope I will be able to run tomorrow or Wednesday. I’m surprised at how much I miss it.

Get well soon, the running can wait for a few days 😁

It is pain. But you are doing the right thing. You cannot push it with asthma. You will get back on track when you are feeling better. Take care.

Thank you. That is very true about asthma.

I know how you feel 😢, but it's worth taking an extra few days off to recover, if you were really under the weather (ie, flu, a proper cold). You will be surprised how you will keep your fitness after a break. 🏃‍♀️😁

First run tonight after being poorly. Week 7 Run 2. It was hard work, my lungs struggled. I did it though, 25 minutes without stopping 🙌
