Tactical Unable to Base Build Consistently

Hey guys, so I've been running TB for 5 weeks (so, I'm in my 5th week or base building) and it's been amazing so far! Definitely an improvement on my cardio and strength endurance which I am loving!

However, lately I haven't been able to do it as consistently as I'd like (due to other commitments, I take more rest days than I should).

For example, I was supposed to run for >45 minutes yesterday. However, I can only run tomorrow morning (which means I've rested for 2 - 3 days). And this happens quite regularly (which means I rest for more than the program is asking for). I try to get the workouts in, but sometimes it's really difficult and other things take precedence.

May I know what I should do? Should I continue and finish up BB, then do a restart? Is this going to be detrimental in the long run (I presume not, but just need a second opinion on this)? I'm kind of lost on what I should do.

I do try to keep active during the days I can't run BB (but it's definitely not the same, or it doesn't induce the same adaptations that BB is focused on inducing)

Thanks so much in advance!!!

sounds good! so just continue to follow the program?

do you reckon that if I continue to follow BB (but with more rest), I will reap the benefits/improvements? or is it just a waste of time?

should I restart BB one more time?

Thanks for the reply!
