3-day break?

Hi all. My next run is W6R3, my first 25 mins run. However it will have to be 3 days after R2 because of being v busy at the weekend. Could anyone tell me if that’s ok? Or should I repeat R2?

Thank you. 😊

That’s life, it happens to us all and is absolutely fine. I’ve had to take a week off before. No way should you repeat run 2! Just run as normal on the day you’ve planned, it’s all good. 😀👍

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help, as well as the advice that you lose no significant condition in the first two weeks of non running.

Enjoy your journey.
