Hi guys i want some advice. I haven't run or done any kind of exercise for over a week now, not out of choice, my 3 year old was taken into hospital with pneumonia, so iv been on children's ward for a while, but i was back home on fri. Im now recovered from lack of sleep and worry and want to get the umph back into it so any ideas?

hi hayley,
welcome back and I hope the little one is on the mend I doubt a week out will have set you back that far. In fact, it's probably good to have a few days out every now and then. I read somewhere that you can still be 50% of your fitness after two weeks. Somebody else here will likely know

Hayley, just get back into your normal regime. You have very respectable times in your profile, and obviously have a good level of fitness, so you won't have lost much in a week or so.

Thanks shes doing great now, its taken it out of me but today im off and hope i run well, like you said a break may have done me the world of good. Laying on a hot beach all week would have been more relaxing though ha
