Time to resume

[Woody_53]

I had to stop the program almost a year ago due to back problems. I have since moved to Gozo, and had treatment from the only Osteopath permanently on the island. I shall resume on Tuesday, although I suspect I may have to restart not resume. On the plus side, Sanap cliffs are fairly close and provide spectacular views

Welcome back to the forum and well done on your decision.

After a year off you will need to restart to recondition your body to the impact and injury resistance.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

Thank you for the advice, which I shall take. Back to square one on Saturday morning.
