Advice on getting back after weeks off

Post by wuwu »

Hi there,
I need advice, I was going great on the program - made it up to W5 D2 without missing a run. I then didn't do W5D3 until 5 days later and I couldn't finish it at all! It's been 2 weeks since my last proper run (W5 D2). Where do you suggest I start back up from??
Thanks in advance!

Hi Amanda,

I've skipped weeks before (I know how frustrating it can be to let your progress slip). I'd suggest going back a week, so in your case maybe trying week 4 again and build yourself up to W5. You'll probably find it easier then expected and so you'll be ready to hit W5 head on.

Look forward to seeing how you get on.

Good luck.

Hi Amanda. I am in the same boat. Been overwhelmed the last few weeks and haven't run in three weeks. I"m going to go back to week 6 and see how it goes. How are you doing after your break?
