Holiday

[Ruthyo]

I've just finished Week 1 Day 3 and it's going ok but I have a question;

When I get to the end of week 4/beginning of week 5, I'm off on holiday for a week so will have to take a break.
I won't have enough room in my luggage for my trainers so do you think I will damage all the progress I have hopefully made by then?

Thoughts please?

Try to make the space to take your gear with you - running somewhere different it really nice

You will be surprised how much just a week off can set you back if you don't really need the break. I know when I take a week off from kickboxing, it kills me when I get back in the gym. I would definitely try to take my running shoes with me, if I were you. It's not a lot of gear that you need, so making space should not be that hard I don't think. You can always wear them and throw your other shoes in the bag, or something. Either way, I would definitely run while on holiday.

Just an update of my original post from a few weeks ago;

I took the advice of the replies and packed my running gear for my holiday to Greece. Just got back last night.
As I wasn't sure if the heat would affect my runnng, I ran early in the morning and for my first run, repeated the last run in week 4. Then I continued with 2 runs in week 5. It was lovely running next to the Aegean Sea, even though I run next to the sea at home!

But this morning, now at home again, I was faced with the dreaded Run 3, Week 5! 20 mins running with no walking? Eeekk!!
But I'm chuffed to say I completed it!! Not bad for a 52 year old who struggled to run the 1 min runs just a few weeks ago! Woo Hoo!!

Well done Ruth, the feeling of euphoria when you finish the run is amazing isn't it!

That sounds great!! Glad you stuck it out. Running along the Aegean Sea sounds wonderful
