Hi I have completed week 1, but did week 2 run 1 on Tuesday. Havent run since due to bad foot pain. This is now sorted thanks to orthotic insoles.

I cant run again until Tuesday - so thats 7 days and no running.

So do I do week 2 run 2 or week 1 again? I feel as if I could do week 2 run 2......just unsure ..

Yes, carry on with Week 2, the seven days is long enough that you've had a nice rest but not so long that it should have set you back at all. As long as your foot is ok, you'll more than likely be raring to go ! :-)

Tantrumbean is spot on! You may find it a lot easier with the orthotics insoles.

Sorry about your foot pain ezmee - I wondered where you were. I hope it's cured for good. I agree with the others, you should go on with week 2. The bonus is that you know you can do it because you've done it before. Good luck.
