OK, so I got to wk 4 run 6 and was struggling, I always run straight after dropping my little one at school so knew the school summer break would be a problem but suprise suprise my Son said he would run with me, hurray. No childcare to find and something we could do together, altough I knew he would out run me and hes only 6!. Disaster 2 days before holidays start and he breaks his elbow, no running for us. We are walking evry other day but I am wondering what damage this 6 weeks will do, as I said I am on run 6 wk 4 and still no where near completing the 5min segments, now I have not ran for 2 weeks, should I drop back to wk 3 when I finally get some time to myself again????

Ach, the best laid plans of mice and women... I'm struggling and I have bigger boys who can be left at home (but do require dragging off the computer from time to time to do something improving)

Doing the walking is surely going to help maintain your fitness level in the meantime. And how about downloading the NHS Strength and Flexibility podcasts (see my blog) which you could do whilst you are both out walking?
