Treadmill arrived today

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

[Hidden]

Thanks everyone. I think it’s a map of my insomniac brain!

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

I look forward to hearing about the treadmill.

My sister suggested I submit it for the Turner Prize 😂

[PashleyPedaller Graduate]

I believe there was actually a lady who because of cultural issues completed the whole of c25k in her living room

[Hidden in reply to rolysmate]

Crumbs, I shant be doing that. The moment the pavements are clear, Ill be out again, hills, wind, traffic the lot 😳

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.

[Hidden in reply to IannodaTruffe]

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!

[HeleneCorsa Graduate]

That's priceless! 😂🍝

[TedG Graduate]

A nice bit of abstract art 🤣😂

[Cliff_H Graduate]

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 ‘present’ on conference calls 😂... my 45 minute (exercise) bike ride that covered 0 Miles is also a classic ☹️

[Hidden in reply to Cliff_H]

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!

[Theziggy Graduate]

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!

[Hidden]

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 I’ve got a treadmill and although I love to run outside sometimes it’s not possible. It’ll be treadmill next week for me as my little one is going in hospital for his tonsils removed so we’ll be cooped up all week but at least I’ll still be running 🏃‍♀️ happy treadmilling x

[Hidden in reply to Shelby1973]

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

[Shelby1973 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank u x

[Hidden in reply to Shelby1973]

[Shelby1973 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Don’t we just ❤️ x
