I have recently joined gym - and decided to try couchto5k on treadmill

I've tried doing it outdoors 3 times and never got past week 2 - I did week 1 day 2 today and am finding it much easier - for several reasons : you can do it alone, so not relying on friend to accompany you , it's a steady pace, having the time in front of you enables you to count down, I think and hope I may make it to week 3 !!!!!!

Well done for starting the program again

And it doesn't matter if you do it on treadmill or outdoors, all that matters is you are doing it and not sitting on the couch 👍

Nice job! I have to treadmill as I live in a hot country which is also crowded and has very dodgy pavements! At some stage I will make it to a park and when I visit the uk I will run outdoors but there's nothing wrong with using a treadmill. The only thing can be boredom s you're stuck in the one place but I try and mix up my music and set myself goals etc to keep it fresh. It's working so far! Good luck 🏃🏼‍♀️😊
