W5R1 - take 2

Since I struggled to finish W5R3 in one go, I am repeating week 5.

I did run 1 yesterday on the trusty treadmill.

This time, I reduced the speed further.

I am feeling much more confident about run 3 already.

Looking forward to run 2 and run 3 :-)

Thanks to everyone for advise.

Cheers,

Ash.

Good luck Ash.

Out of curiousity, what speeds are are doing on the treadmill?

I graduated in March having done all 9 weeks on the treadmill in our works gym.

Transition to outdoors can be a shock to some people so I sympathise with you.

Thanks John.

I am doing 4.5 KM/H speed for walking and 5.5 KM/H for running.

Going outdoors is like going from swimming in a pool to swimming in a river! Or the ocean!

You can do it.

Not what you're looking for?
