GimmeMedals Aug 2012 6:10pm, 20 Aug 2012 6,349 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals Once again I have let running take a back seat. 3 months ago I could comfortably run 10 and a bit further on a good day. 2 months of virtually no runnng and I'm sturggling to run for 3 mintues. So I'm back to basics and following a C210k training plan. Am I the only numpty who allows this to happen? Every year? Or maybe you are starting from scratch following an injury.

GimmeMedals Aug 2012 6:14pm, 20 Aug 2012 6,350 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals I'm on day 2 having done Run 3 mins, walk 2 mins x 6 yesterday and that was hard work; and I've done Run 2 walk 2 x 8 today. The last couple of reps felt ok today. How I long for the days when I could run for an hour or more - those days when it felt like I could run for ever. They will return.....
