W1R3 on an incline......

Following feedback from the forum I tried my last week 1 run on the treadmill at a slight incline -it was much harder and I broke out in a real sweat! As I'm scribing this my glasses are still steaming up. :-) I think I'm going to try to do the last of the runs on an incline as can see how this will prepare me better for the great outdoors.

How much of an incline did you use? I always run at 2%

Only 1% - working my way up to 2%. Just that small incline makes such a difference though.

Now on W4R2, loving it and dreading it at the same time. :-)
