Fab update MM xx
Whenever I've taken a break for ehatever resson, I've restarted with C25k, even if not ftom day 1. It's a good foundation.

I hope C25k can help! Breaking it all down into manageable chunks instead of focusing too much on the end goal or on what you were able to do 5 years ago is a good way to look at it.
My current "challenge" is to go to the gym once a week. Once. If I set the bench at 3 times a week, it will never happen and just make me feel bad about myself for failing. So once. I can do once.

I too thoroughly endorse doing C25K. I loved doing it.

LG, running appears to be making you more and more unhappy. Having had so many issues in the past year i do understand how hard it is to break free from how we perceive ourselves as a

certain kind of "runner" after an enforced layoff. C25K gives you permission to start again and throw things up in the air for a while.

Quite seriously what do you have to lose?

Helping at our Beginners course also helps me to get back on track when I’ve fallen off the running wagon, and a lot of our club runners assist for the same reason. Very few people sustain the same level of habit or intensity for a long period of time, most of us need or are forced to take a break at some point and then we just start again.

No running for me today, instead I have my first 1 - 1 swimming lesson. I’m rather nervous about it TBH which is daft. I get running coaching all the time and don’t feel nervous about that.

Welcome to this year’s 700 thread: Amazing cake, amazing badges, amazing people :) Training goals: Don’t cry, don’t die

Links to targets and 700 table below. Reach 700 miles and we’ll heap you with bunting with extra points for bins. And if you go under or over 700 miles, noone will mind. 700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient. Overachievers: please reset your target so everyone gets a spot in the sun heart
