Shall I repeat week 2?

I completed week 1 last week without too much trouble, but then I caught the dreaded man flu! I had 4 days off running while trying to get better and went out for w2r1 on wednesday but I really struggled and didnt manage to run for 90s on a few occasions. I tried again today and still struggled. Still need to go out for a third run this week but should I do an extra week 2 until I can manage it ok or push through to week 3?

I'm from the U.S. and I'm assuming man flu is a cold? Sounds like it may not hurt to repeat a run or two... maybe see how your third run goes and if you can complete it, move on. If not, it never hurts to repeat a run. I hope you feel better soon! Gayle
