Had a week off due to injury, should I start all over again

I am starting the first run of week seven after a week off due to ongoing shinsplints could any one give me advice on whether I should try the w7 run or go back to week six would really appreciate some input .

Bummer about the shin splints – sorry. I guess you've been told before to do lots and lots of stretching?

You could give week six an extra try, and if it's easy, continue with week 7.

All the best!

Hi Pippa!

I just had to do the same thing. I took last week off because of shin splints. When I started back I should have been on week 4. I did the week 3 run one more time to see how I felt. Then I started week 4. My running weeks no longer coincide with actual weeks, but oh well.

Another thing I am doing this time is waiting an extra day between runs.
