Hi
I've just started the program after a selection of health issues over the last few years which on top of everything else have seen me put on a fair bit of weight.
I'm not really confident about doing this outdoors so have been using the treadmill in the gym. It seems to be a bit tricky getting the speed up and then down to fit the instructions but I think I'm getting there.
I've just completed the 3 runs in week 1 which were pretty tough. But at least I got there.
I guess my main concern is about what is a reasonable speed. At the moment I'm setting the treadmill to 6.5kph for the brisk walk and 7.5kph for the jogging sections. I can cope with those speeds and they are also not so far apart that I lose a lot of time adjusting the speed.
I'd love to hear from any other people using treadmills to see how they are getting on and what speeds they are using.
Thanks
John
Hi john. As long as the time you are jogging you are moving faster than walking, No prob. Speed comes later. My preference is to run outside.
