I’ve not done any running for 4 weeks. I got to week 9 but was only doing it once a week. Should I start again?

As stated in the guide to the plan, healthunlocked.com/couchto5... you lose no significant condition in the first two weeks of non running.

After that loss of condition is gradual.

All any of us can do after a lay off is to go out and see what we can comfortably manage, then build back up gently, using C25k or something similar as a guide to weekly increase.

When you say once a week, what you do mean?

OK so just 1x 30 mins in Week 9. Any reason why? What about Weeks 7 & 8 ?

Not what you're looking for?
