First Outdoor Run 😊

Completed my first outdoor run this morning...ever! Did the whole C25K programme on a treadmill in a gym as was too chicken to go outside and I began in March! Only did 32 mins and no idea of my pace but I did it! Felt as though I could actually get some air in my lungs. Feeling chuffed with little old me πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ˜ƒ

Great! Well done for getting out there, Ally - it’s a big step if you are only used to treadmill running.

It’s a glorious time of year for outdoor running, and the joy of the outdoors is that there is so much to distract you! I work in an office, so my time outside is critical for my mental and physical health - fresh air and a chance to be amongst trees and nature. 😁

Keep up the good work!

Well done Ally, I hope you will continue to enjoy running outdoors, breathing in the air, and witnessing the change in seasons. Although I guess it does depend where you live. I did a lot of my c25k running on a treadmill because of the snow and ice and may head back into the gym mid winter, but will enjoy it outdoors while I can. Also now you have been outdoors you can now try a Parkrun. You can brisk walk and then run it.

Thanks Dexy. I’ve no excuse for not running outdoors as we live in an area surrounded by open space. It’s been a confidence issue in running outdoors that’s prevented me from doing it sooner. I will no doubt return to the treadmill at some point but I really want to increase the outdoor runs and maybe eventually try a park run πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Stay outside as long as possible. I never run indoors. It seems daft to me when there is the great outdoors to be run. You can run all year round ! πŸ’ͺπŸ˜ƒπŸ‘

Well done - this is a step you won't regret! ...and there is no 'only' about a 32 min run, so don't put your achievement down! Good luck with the next one too!πŸ™‚
