Not cheating at all! If I had a treadmill I’d definitely make use of it😎

Certainly not!

Set gradient to at least one degree to simulate to better simulate running outdoors.

Have you read the guide to the plan? healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Running is Running the FAQ Posts and Mentor says.I just love that❤️😂😂🌟

No, it's not cheating. I've just done run 2 of week 2 of 5-10k program, 6k on a treadmill because of the weather. Not a lot of fun though :(

Not at all, the first time I did C25K I did it all on a treadmill as I was too shy, too hot, too wet too hilly otherwise! But outdoor running is so much better I was delighted to discover. The Dreadmill is a great alternative but boring! Well done on completing your run. Keeping me on track. Btw if it's pouring Tomorrow I'll be doing mine at the gym☺️🏃😰
