A Treadmill 2k run today

[Instructor57]

As I'm not working today I wanted to get a run in .I had been watching the weather forecast for a couple of days and it wasn't looking good .

Wet and windy is not a combination I like running in .

So having not used my treadmill for a while I decided yesterday that I would do today's run on it .

When I got up this morning it was dull with just a little wind and to be honest it would have been fine for my run but I thought I'd stick to my plans and use my treadmill anyway .

I planned on another 2k without a walking break and that's what I did .

I was never happy with the calibration on the treadmill and have previously used my Garmin on the treadmill setting and calibrated it , but again I was not happy with the accuracy of the calibration.

So I fitted the Runn sensor device from

'North pole engineering'

npe-inc.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA...

This in turn has been paired with my watch as a sensor so I just select the normal run setting on my watch and disable GPS

This appears to be really quite accurate when compared to my previous last few outside runs .

So another 2k with no walk break.

I will do another similar run next time before stretching the distance again .

Happy running!

Another great run there Ian 😁. I never could figure out calibration and would get very cross! Sounds as though you have it all worked out though.

Thanks Kate !Yes tbh the treadmill calibration has always been something that frustrated me .

But the 'Runn' sensor is great albeit a little tricky to set up .

It's also compatible with Zwift which I need to play around with a little bit more 🙂

Brilliant, another good run for you. Sounds like you are getting into a nice routine, yay😁

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thanks, and yes, routine is what I want before distance or time 🙂👍

Well done Instructor57 🙂.

I have always said I would never get a treadmill but I have to admit I am slightly jealous of having that alternative to keep the runs it when it’s horrible outside! In the winter, my sister will hop on her treadmill after work when it’s wet/cold/dark, whereas I have no choice but to lace up 🥶⛈ or gaze out the window thinking “maybe tomorrow!”🤔🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks, that's the very reason I got one .Just keeps things ticking over.

It's certainly not a Gym standard but it does the job adequately 🙂

Many thanks, getting there slowly 😊👍

Brilliant effort and very well done. Your bouncing back. Enjoy the return journey to running. I hope your feeling so much better.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

Thanks Damien!Certainly feeling a lot better but wouldn't say 100% yet , and need to wait until May for an ENT appointment 😐

[OldManRunning Graduate10]

Well done Instructor57, onward and upward 😊

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

well done I57. I managed my first 20 minute run yesterday too. I’ll be sticking with it for a while so I don’t upset my hip. 🤣🤣
