You still covered 4.98 km, Dutch-Fraggle, which is great, a power walk is ok, I’ve had to revert to one of those a few times on Consolidation runs, important thing is you’re still out there doing it and moving at a pace, and you can’t run if you’ve got cramp. I’ve been using the Nike Running Club App, guided runs of various times and distance, it’s good 👍

It sounds as though you had a great holiday! Just allow a few days to readjust to your normal routine and I am sure you will soon be back to where you were. Good Luck! :)
