I have now completed week 4 run 3 at the fourth attempt, after an enforced hiatus of four weeks. I don't feel as capable as I did when I had to take the break, so am minded to repeat week 4. Any advice gratefully received.

As stated in the guide to the plan, healthunlocked.com/couchto5... you lose no significant condition in the first two weeks of non running.

After that loss of condition is gradual.

All any of us can do after a lay off is to go out and see what we can comfortably manage, then build back up gently, using C25k or something similar as a guide to weekly increase.

Not what you're looking for?
