Hi Zoe,

Glad to hear you have recovered!

I'd say that you're the best judge of where to resume, but where I can help is by saying don't get too hung up on it — start with something that you are pretty sure you will manage okay, perhaps an interval run from week 5 or 6. If it's too easy, then move on to the next week for your next run. I hope that helps a bit!
