Starting to enjoy this outdoor running malarkey! (I'm usually a treadmill runner) did my first 5k outdoor run for a very long time today!🏃‍♀️☀️🌳 very pleased with it and definitely motivated to do more outdoor running!

Well done you. I did quite a lot of my runs on the treadmill on c25k due to exceptional bad winter weather. But running outdoors is so much better. Seeing the change in the seasons, watching the world go by, and running parkrun and races (when you can) - it can’t be beaten.

Thank you! I've always thought I find treadmill running easier, but now my gym isn't using air con due to covid, I think I prefer being outside!🥵

Very well done. Great pace and nice finish time. Outdoor running is great. When you get used to it I think you’ll prefer it, even during the winter.

Thank you 😊 it's the winter outdoor running that puts me off🥶 so hoping that getting used to doing it during the warmer months will help!

I live in Ireland so winter running and summer running is all the same 😂. It’s either raining or freezing 🥶. I wear shorts all year round when running. I’ve been in hotel gyms before when away with work and I can’t last more than 5 minutes on a treadmill. I much prefer outdoor running. But I believe that on cold rainy wet days a treadmill would be so much more appealing. Running is running and once your running that’s all that matters.
