🍏😩 Commiserations on that chest infection Ollie! I would ease back into gentle walks over the weekend being mindful to drink plenty of fluids especially water.. also do some deep breathing exercises.. then ease back into running next week… pick a run you feel happy to start with… do it at snail 🐌 pace. If it goes well keep moving to the next run.. if not it was good practice.. then choose to repeat it.. It’s an easing back in slowly listening to your body! Those longer runs will happily wait for you to catch up..so all good with your instinctive plan!! Let us know!!

A gentle jogette and listen to what is going on... your body will tell you what is what. Keep it slow and steady as you build backx
