Dreadmill with a view

Monthly Quest target #3 achieved sort of ✅❓👍...... I said 2k @ 13kph might be 2*1k, and it turned out to be 4*500m within a 5k / 28 mins dreadmill intervals session.

But the view from the dreadmill was a bit better than the one in the gym in Southsea ......

And having followed the run with a “traditional afternoon tea” which put back at least three times anything the run had taken out🥪🥧🧁☕️, that’s about it for the day I reckon 🛌.

Love from Madeira .... Onwards and upwards!!

Lovely photo of your holiday resort, Dexy also sent a nice photo as well, I was on a treadmill the other day for a

gait analysis and sent a photo of my new running shoes, it's under the title

"Ya Beauties " I liked the treadmill and said I would no longer call it a dreadmill 😂. 😊

Better than not running at all UTS! You had earned that afternoon tea!😋

Can’t take the credit for that, just borrowed it 😀

Just think how much you would have put on if you hadn't run : )

That’s what’s worrying Dexy 😀

Much as I love Southsea... that view beats it! Maybe the afternoon tea was three times the calories, but I’d think 1/3 replacement, 1/3 fuel for the next run and 1/3 it’s just nice and I deserve it.

Happy running and have a great holiday.

Now, you’re not Paul Pogba, so I know you’re capable of running more than once a week.

If you have to use the dreadmill, at least you have a gorgeous view! Enjoy the holidays!

View or no view I shall not go on any Dreadmill! Well done to you though!

They’re pretty soul-destroying most of the time, but if you want to run at a specific pace for some reason,they do the job for you. And sometimes they’ve got air-conditioning 😀👍

At 31degrees for most of today, air conditioning would certainly be appreciated.

Well if there’s a pleasant treadmill experience, it looks like you’ve found it UTS. Have a wonderful holiday! 🏖

Much better than staring at a wall or cricking your neck to see the tv screen! Still a dreadmill though 😩 And the afternoon tea looked lush!

Well of course, I hate dreadmills usually - but with a view like that, I could be tempted! Enjoy the rest of your hols!🙂

Great view! When we visited Madeira a few years ago the weather was so dire we had to light the wood burner in the apartment 🥶

Have you visited the golf club at the top of Funchal? The views are absolutely glorious.

Not seen anything of a golf club, but went up the cable car 🚡 to Monte, which was pretty spectacular 👍

We couldn’t use the cable car as the weather was so bad ☹️
