Running after 5 days off

Hi lovely supportive people. I did Week 2 run 1 last Sunday but haven't run or done any exercise since due to the heat and being unwell. I'm ready to run today but should I carry on with Week 2 run 2 or go back to a run from Week 1? I'm no spring chicken with dodgy knees but determined to do this!

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.

Thank you. I've bookmarked the guidance page now. Will see how it goes today.

Whichever you feel most comfortable about 😊
