How Long Does it Take . . .

to feel like I can run three miles again? I was fine in the spring all the way through June, but then barely exercised in July and August and September. I went for a run yesterday and was SO out of breath. (And of course I'm heavier than I was, so there's more to carry around, and I even felt it in my left knee.)
I know I can do couch-to-5K programs but I just wondered how long it takes to get back into it.

When i was in bad physical shape and started running it took me 14 weeks to run 5K smoothly. It was more mental than physical. I don't run much lately , but i do an occasional 5K and all i do is run a mile or two , a couple times the week before and i can run the 5K just fine. How long it will take you is gonna depend on your body and your mind..0

I started mine on July 21st. It's been 9 weeks and 2 days. I'm on week 6, day 2. I suspect I will be done in 12 weeks. If I get done before then, woo hoo!0
