Treadmill nearly did for me

[ejvcruns]

Many props to you treadmillers! Man I was hot! And I got a stitch for the first time in forever. I barely made 25 minutes and thought I was going to expire. I'm definitely investing in winter running gear because I'm highly interested in avoiding the whole treadmill experience again #dreadmill #stickaforkinme #cuzimdone

First run of 10k training plan 2.5k

I've only had a brief go on a treadmill for gait analysis, I struggled on it. How do I see the full 6 week 10k programme? Are you back home?

[ejvcruns Graduate in reply to Martin_Rose]

you can't see the full programme, but here it is

Each week is one short run, one easy run, and one long run. The short run can be run using speed podcast or doing intervals.

W1: 2.5k, 5k, 5.5k

W2: 3k, 5k, 6k

W3: 3.5k, 5k, 7k

W4: 4k, 5k, 8k

W5: 4k, 5k, 9k

W6: 4k, 5k, 10k

PS no, I'm in an airport in Sweden waiting to fly on to Germany. I am sick of travelling and want to go home, but it's not to be.

I totally agree with you on the treadmill front! I am so glad I run outside I find running on a treadmill much harder. I do my interval running training on a treadmill and cant wait for the 10 minutes or so to end. I am going to just keep on doing the 5K runs for the time being but those runs building up to the 10K look very hard going, I am not sure I will be able to achieve that in 6 weeks! Will wait a few weeks and then see how I feel!! xx

Great start on your journey to 10k, it's a fun one 🙂. I try to avoid the treadmill at all costs as well, I also overheat and can only peel so much clothing off with a 10 year old boy in the house (and often a few of his friends around). If I have to resort to shorts and a sports bra on my later night runs and he happens to come downstairs , I get the look and "Mom, where's your shirt?"😮🙄 😆

[ejvcruns Graduate in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Yeah, the "run naked" thing doesn't really appeal to me either...

Ooo, ok then...if you’re out, I’m out!!

Well done for getting the 10k training started, especially with so much travelling! I have never managed to run more than a few minutes on a treadmill and I've never stayed on long enough to work out why. I'm doing 10k training (although I haven't quite got my head around that yet) and I've got w2r2 later. But I've converted the distances to time like c25k, so I don't feel too pressured to complete distances uphill. I'm sure it'll all work out! 😀

Don't forget to post pics of new running gear!
