Hi all first tried couch 2to5k just over 12 months ago then caught severe cold and found out I had asthma, well that killed first attempt. Any way about 3 months ago restarted,asthma under control, no problems, surprisingly body wise,then along came Covid 19. I redid week 3 and just kicked off week 4 pretty well, then sh#t happens, developed water infection, after 3 weeks could not put weight on left foot so off to local a&e, well one week later and due to blood clots and poor circulation it looks like I'm going to lose leg from bellow knee, will keep you all posted about progress and how long it takes to get back up and running.

Well I admire your determination, but do you really mean that you are going to get back to running?

Best wishes, hope all goes well.
