Treadmill arrived today

โ€ข24 Replies

Above is my Strava map of my 25 minute run round my house yesterday. Now I have the treadmill, hopefully I will never have to do that again!

I haven't tried the treadmill out yet, but I might do week 6 run 3 on it tomorrow, as the pavements are still icy.

Only trouble is it's taking up space despite being a small foldaway one, so I think I will store it in our loft bedroom in summer

Are you sure that isn't a valuable work by Jackson Pollack? It looks like one.

I look forward to hearing about the treadmill.

Well, as one now disgraced TV entertainer used to say "Can you tell what it is yet?"

Run tracking art is quite a thing in these GPS dominated days. outsideonline.com/1978066/h...

I think you need a bigger canvas.

Ah, well, twas only while I was stuck in because of the snow and icy pavements. Im very impressed with the fact that my Garmin picked up a sattelite and trackd me indoors. Oh, the dog is cute!

Fine art indeed. My Strava is full of these, more than half of my runs are on the treadmill while doing my best impression of being โ€˜presentโ€™ on conference calls ๐Ÿ˜‚... my 45 minute (exercise) bike ride that covered 0 Miles is also a classic โ˜น๏ธ

This one wasnt even on the treadmill (that arrived later): it was round the hall, kitchen, living room and conservatory. What can I say - I'm mad!

You even managed to run through the walls a couple of times - amazing. I do know a few other people who, for whatever reason set up a running course in their own house.

But who am I to talk, I used to (and will again) use a Wii and a Training Game for the Wii, which had sections which made you virtually do long runs by running on the spot in front of the TV. Had to put a mat down as I would have worn out the carpet.

There are some excellent training/fitness games for the Wii in fact. I feel a New Years Resolution coming on! Used to play Tennis on the Wii too - great workout! 8-)

Ah, yes, running through walls. Just exercising my super powers ;)

There was a post yesterday with someone asking if it was possible to do the entire c25k in their house as it was -30 outside. They might find you wii running advice helpful.

Hiya Iโ€™ve got a treadmill and although I love to run outside sometimes itโ€™s not possible. Itโ€™ll be treadmill next week for me as my little one is going in hospital for his tonsils removed so weโ€™ll be cooped up all week but at least Iโ€™ll still be running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ happy treadmilling x

โ€ข in reply toShelby1973

That's why i bought it, for days when outside is impossible. I wish your little one a stress free tonsil removal and a speedy recovery x
