I havent run for 1 week :(
Ive had a really bad week and haven't been able to run. My last run was 31st July - I had just completed week 2, run 2.
Any advice on which run I should do today? Should I try week 2 run 3 or should I go back a few steps?
Thanks

I'd probably back off a touch. There's nothing wrong with doing that, and it'll be a lot easier to get back into it if your first run feels a little too easy rather than too hard. But trust your instincts, and let us know how you get on!

Hi Matt. Ive just come back from my run! I decided to bite the bullet - got for week 2 run 3 and see how I got on.
I managed it all without doing myself a mischief I'm sweaty and my legs are tired but I'm really pleased! I'm re-motivated again and looking forward to sticking to the plan

Way to go, Tiny Dancer! After just a week, I will usually try the next run, too. If it's been longer, and is a run I am dreading, I may go back. Just took me four tries on week 6 run 3! And haven't run since Tuesday because of all the back to school appointments, orientations, shopping, etc. But mostly, just not making it a priority.
Congrats and keep on running!

Thanks guys!
Today I did week 3 run 1. Wow, I can tell its going to start ramping up quickly from here! It was a little tough but I managed it - I'm very proud of myself
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Well done Tinydancer - you should feel very proud!
I missed over 2 weeks after week 7 run 1 due to work commitments and other stuff. I decided to go straight back and do week 7, run 2 but taking it 5 minutes at a time and stopping if it felt too much. If I did stop, I'd go back a few weeks and build up again. Anyway, I did the full 25 minutes and felt really proud of myself too!
