What shall I do

[derbbo]

Hi I'm new to this forum but have read a lot of your comments and support.

I was on rn 2 of week 2 when I got a chest infection, which brought my asthma back on. Feel better now but not sure whether to go back to week 1 or start where I left off. I could complete the last run of each run of week 2, when I read
About you guys running week 9....

Any suggestions???

Thanks

How long have you been off? I would probably try redoing week 2 from the beginning - but the great thing about his app is it is really easy to stop a run and pick up at the same time of an earlier run. So if you are really struggling with the 1 1/2 minutes you can stop after the first one - go back a week a finish off your run with the 1 minutes of a week 1 run

I took 6 weeks to get to week 2 I'm almost averaging a month a week and really struggled with week 6 last week so am repeating it and it is going much better. Still ages away from week 9.

Happy running.

Thanks for that, I didn't realise how many people repeat weeks so will try week 2 again I just find the last 1 1/2 min really hard. I'm sure it would be easier to run w music but I run in the woods so a bit scared too

I'm only on week 1 but already pretty sure I'm going to need to repeat weeks - everyone is different and taking your time is the right thing to do as long as you're consistent, I think. Just give it a go and see what you can manage! Good luck!

I'm just starting week 7 (no I can't believe it either!). I've had to repeat several weeks. For me the key is making sure you complete a week before moving on. I completely blew week 5 run 3 - I tried it after not managing the first two runs of that week. It really knocked my confidence so now I only move on when I've done the previous run with no walking. It really doesn't matter how long it takes to get through as long as you keep going. Good luck and keep posting to let us know how you're getting on!!
