I had to take a 3 day break due to feeling sick and a multi-day long migraine. This morning, the headaches were still there but I went out for my W5 R1 run anyway. I was too afraid to loose my fitness, so hard earned. First 5 min left me breathless (uphill), but 2nd and 3rd were actually fun. I could feel my calves and I got to watch those.

Well done.

As stated in the guide to the plan, you lose next to condition in the first two weeks of non running.

Not what you're looking for?
