Hi folks - Ive had to stop for about 2 weeks after doing week 1 due to a neck problem then pain in my shins 😞 had a test run last night and the shins are better but not entirely pain free. Should I move on to week 2 or do week 1 again ? Cheers

Just take it easy and follow the advice in the guide to the plan on minimising impact and strengthening exercises. Pain thresholds are individual and if you are in real discomfort then rest up.

The increase in total running duration in W2 is only a minute more than in W1, so you may as well push on.
