Congrats on completing wk1!

Take your time working through and have extra rest days if you need it.

Good luck with your next run πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done on completing week 1, but why would you repeat it? If you managed those first 3 runs you are ready to move on. Trust the programme!

Just make sure your leg feels better first and keep it really slow - so slow that it feels ridiculous at first is the way to go.

Good luck and keep posting your progress.

I thought you had to repeat the week if you missed a few days

Nope. Apoarently it takes a couple of weeks to lose fitness. As long as you complete the runs each week (or take longer if you need more rest days) you are ready for the next week. But do what feels right to you.

Not what you're looking for?
