Kick start

[priti86]

I need to kick start again after wk2, was away and couldn’t continue as it was too hot to run.

I really loved the 2 weeks, starting on Tuesday.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

As stated in the guide to the plan, 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 for a gentle run and see what we can comfortably manage, then use C25k or something similar to rebuild stamina and resistance to injury.

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.

Welcome to the forum and the program!You will likely be able to carry on from where you were .

As already mentioned, 2 weeks off shouldn't cause you much problem !

Enjoy the program
