I have just had the best feeling ... albeit me being a total thicky πŸ™ˆ I realised tonight that I am actually running in miles on my treadmill and not kilometres (duh!!) I was so down on myself as thought I’m never going to make 5k by the end of this App as seemed to be just scraping (what I thought) was 3k turns out week 8 run 2 was my lightbulb πŸ’‘moment and I realise the nearly 4K I ran was actual 4 miles = +6k !!! I am so happy as training for 3k charity run in 2 weeks time and now realise I am actually running neatly twice that already!! Sorry ... but just have to blow my very loud trumpet 🎺 this App is the best πŸ™ŒπŸ»

My friend told me he was running 4.3 m in 30 mins. Turned out he was covering 4.3k.....all on the treadmill.

Yours is a better surprise! That is very fast mind you, easily an under 30m parkrun.
