A one month break from running its time to get back with the program. I always do one month training programs before altering in line with my progression. I've done it with gym work and cycling as well. Both of which I've followed with discipline only missing the days where time was not available or sickness prevented me from any sort of exercise. However when it comes to running I couldn't follow my program, it was always "I'll run tomorrow". I've found the amount I would progress (speed & distance) in a month running was far less than it is in cycling. That being said cycling has always been my strength.
So I gave myself a months break from physical activity all together to start a new slate and really focus on my running. Starting from the 1st of September I'll be following the 6-weeks Beginner 5K schedule supplemented with home body weight exercise and yoga provided by BeFit.
I'm hoping to follow this plan for the full the 6 weeks and a good base leading into fall. I'll be posting every Sunday of my previous weeks progress. Wish me luck!
