Lasted 1 week :-(

[David-S]

I started my Couch to 5k about a month ago, got through 1 week and then was diagnosed with a stomach complaint (blooming typical) I tried to continue but was in pain, as soon as this is cleared up, I will be back on the road, I really can't wait.

I have had the same, gastroenteritis for two weeks, but once though it you will be fine. Keep going it is well worth it.

Similar for me back in late March.
