Help. I haven’t run since 17th June a month ago. I’ve got stuck on week eight run three and I’m pretty terrified if I go out now I won’t be able to do this run. I need somebody with a big stick behind me!

If you haven't run for a month you may want to step back a week so redo week 7 and then continue on to week 8, at this stage it is mental rather than physical your body can do it but your mind tries to trick you that you can't!
