This morning I thought I would run on the treadmill so that I could jog my pace slowly and have a conversation.

Well slow it was chatting away to myself not breathless at all but it took 50 minutes to do 5k.

I will now work on building my stamina and speed.

Must say even though the treadmill is boring I enjoyed the fact that I wasnt breathless, roll on 8k

Are you watching or listening to anything to make it less boring?

Wow! 50 minutes on treadmill, i used to do that but we got rid of it a few years ago. Takes me that to run 5k most times and good to go slow and not get puffed out

Thank you x

It takes me longer on the treadmill to run the same distance as outdoor as well. Honestly, I don't like running on the treadmill (even though I own one) as it forces me to run at the same pace the whole time. It feels harder, because it is not a natural feeling of running. Nevertheless if the weather keeps up like it is now, I might skip to my treadmill today in order not to run in the dark...
