Always great to come back to it again. You know what's involved, you better know you can do it, just need to stick with it! 👍🏻😁

Don't forget to cast your eyes over the guide once more to remind yourself of the best practice healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Good luck out there 💪

I started again too and I have to say the difference was unbelievable. The first time I struggled through every week but this time - although it was a good few months since I stopped - I’ve managed every week with no trouble. It’s even been enjoyable! Good for you getting out there x

I also lapsed but you're all encouraging me to get back at it. Especially Oliverunner - I hope we all have the same experience as you!

I am in the same position. I live overseas and had to stop over the summer as it was way too hot. Am just restarting and have decided to walk for a week to get back into it and then start again. Onward!
