Still on Treadmill....

Yes, now on week 7 and still on the treadmill. Have found watching a video on my tablet is keeping me going more than the music did at the moment. Have also been feeling rather stressed recently, with quite a bit going on, and have, rather than curled up on the sofa, got on the treadmill and done the next run, which at the time has helped greatly.

On driving home a couple of days ago, I passed a friend that started when I did just over a year ago, and later asked him how he was doing, only to discver he is now running 10kms on a regular basis! Not sure if I want to progress to that level, I am quite happy to complete c25k at this point and to then move on to my local Park Run, but first I have to move off the treadmill and outside. Would love to finish this programme outside.......

Apart from the first two weeks I've done the whole programme on the treadmill (due to minor injury issues). Like you I'm now at the stage when I really want to get outside. However, the treadmill is very useful for post grad runs as you can get specific stats for intervals, speed, etc. I did look at possible run routes last night so I guess it's only a matter of time!

I got to wk9 run2 first time round before my knee gave out, and I am still a bit fearful that it may go again. I agree it is great for stats and I write down the time it takes me to hit various points and how far I have gone in a given time, and am increasing slightly each time.
