Got to W5R2 then missed 10days. Any advice appreciated re how far back I should go to repeat. Was thinking of restarting Week 4?

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.

I have just completed week 4 and found it quite tough and more so because I left the best part of a week gap between run 4 weeks 1 and 2. I found week 4 to be a step up from the first 3 weeks so I am sure covering week 4 again will give you what you need.
