Did my second run today on the treadmill. Did it at 3.3 walking speed and 4.3 jogging!!! It worked out 1.8 miles in 30 mins. Unfortunately the house was hot as kids had turned the heating up!!! It was a very sweaty session!!! Really pleased I was able to do it as I had a very busy morning and family were saying do it later!!!

Could anyone tell me if the speeds I set up would be about right please?

Thanks.

Ah thanks. Im surprising myself as to far im now running . I was lucky if i could run for 20 secs at the start lol. Must say i not lost weight yet as not really trying hard enough with diet. Tummy is looking flatter though x x

I Think the weight aspect will come with time. Everyone seems to be of the opinion that as muscle is heavier than fat that you tend to notice changes in your shape first as everything tones up!!

I am determined to do it. This forum is fab everyone supports each other and theres no snide bitchy comments!!!

I love it xx
