Hi all x I have had to take a 4 week break from c25k and I was on week 6 run 2!! My Uncle(who I have looked after for the last 2 yrs passed away on Monday) so I am unsure where to start back on the plan? I had been doing it all on the treadmill, but as the weather is getting a little warmer, wondering whether to try outside, but not sure to start from week 1? Help please?? xx
Had a 4 week break?: Hi all x I have had to take... - Couch to 5K
Had a 4 week break?
I had an enforced 4 week break after a car crash then unrelated operation/infection - i only did a few walks, then went back from where I had finished (beginning week four) to week 3 when I restarted, found I coped with week 3 ok and hadn;t lost any of my fitness - I was very happy and surprised! I then continued with no problems until I got tonsilitus so had another 10 day break ( was running every other day without fail) but again, just did one week of where I had finished then carried on.
Definitely try running outside - I have only done one run on the treadmill and found it odd to not be moving and seeing different things; there is plenty of spring blooming now ( if you can see through the rain and snow!
Good luck!
Yes, I agree with Poppy, have a little go and see how you feel. You may be very pleasantly surprised. Good luck.
I agree too - if I'm not too late! I'd start at W5R1 and take it from there. You won't have lost much fitness in 4 weeks.
Good luck!
I completed the 9 weeks last summer and could do 5k in 42 minutes and then had a 6 month break!! I decided to start again from the beginning but could do weeks 1 - 3 in the first three runs and then did W4R1 and went straight into week 5 and did run one with no problem at all. During the 6 months off I have been walking regularly, this must have helped a lot. I have never run on a treadmill, but given the continued horrible weather I might try - what do people think about treadmills?
Thank you all for you replies xxx was uncles funeral today so hopefully be back on track later in the week! Will keep you updated . Thank you again xx
