Just a quick thought (about treadmills)

Hey! Hope you’re all enjoying the beautiful crisp morning this morning?

Due to time constraints today, however much I would have loved to bound up the road in the leaves and country lanes, I knew I faced the treadmill as I only had a quick 4K to put in, for the start of wk 4 before the day lets loose. Dogs and traffic just too much of a barrier today!

Full of the joys of the golden sunshine and glorious colours, however, I decided to try (as Ju-Ju recommends) using it as an interval run and it worked!! So much less boring and pretty motivating.

I did 250m turns at slower and faster speeds and am thoroughly happy to say I went straight through without coming back to walk 😄

Sorry if this is an obvious thing which everyone but me already knows, but to anyone facing the ‘dreadmill’ for whatever reason, if you haven’t tried this, maybe give it a go.

Over and out 😜

Well done, and that's great advice!!!

Not obvious at all to me so thanks. I use treadmills if I’m travelling and want to run but don’t know where. It’d be good to blot out sky news and awful unknown music with a challenge
