Sleet forced me onto treadmill yuk

[Paul46-ipswich]

Well last night I had to do a 50 minute run as part of my 10 miler training, I was actually looking forward to it as I managed 60 minutes on Sunday, albeit in the canaries with my daughter. But it stated snowing and sleeting yuk, couldn't face it so off I went to the gym knowing that I hate being on the treadmill for longer than 30 minutes. It was tough keeping the motivation to be honest but I listened to "marathon talk" podcast on Spotify which tool my mind off it slightly. The first 30 minutes was a doddle but the last 20 awful. Bring on spring.

I used to think yuk just like you, but have learned to embrace and enjoy the threadmill when the alternatives are worse. The spotify podcast was a good idea, and I think distraction is the key to find the treadmill enjoyable (just like it's the distraction from ever changing scenery that makes outdoor running fun).

I'm not running because it is so icy out. Not worth the risk, am really missing it though. Hope I won't have to resort to a treadmill 😥 but well done you for not being beaten by the weather.
