Deflated and Frustrated :(

Hey everyone.

Some kind of viral infection is kicking my butt and it is stopping me from running. Hell I can't even walk without getting a sweat on. Really worrying me, i was just about to do week 5 run 2 but really don't know when i am gonna be well enough to do it. Will I have to go back over the first run? Or even back a week? Not run for a week now and concerned my stamina/fitness is going backwards.

I'm no expert but please don't try to run while you're unwell, your body is telling you to rest. When you feel well again, why not start from week 5 run 1 and see whether that's ok; if not, go back a bit. You will soon get back to where you were once you're well again I'm sure. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

I know what it's like, I had a really bad cold a few weeks ago and now just getting over another. I found going back a week for each week missed was about right for me, so maybe go back to week 4 run 2 - you'll soon catch up, but I know it's fustrating!
