I have put in a charity application for our local "Big fun run" in August. I'm 5 weeks into couch to 5k but I do need to start transitioning from treadmill to outdoors in preparation. I'm so excited! If my charity application isn't approved I'll enter privately anyway.

Good for you! You have plenty of time. Ease yourself into outdoor running. So for example, run one run outside and the other two on the treadmill and do that for a few weeks. Then run twice outside and so on. Just remember to run even more slowly outside as it's harder to pace yourself as the treadmill does it for you.

Good luck and let us know how you're getting on.
