I’m going to do my W6R2 at the gym tonight. Any idea what setting I should use?

Put it on a slight incline (1%?) which helps mimic wind resistance. And then just find your brisk walk pace (as high as you can go without needing to run on it). For your run, increase it by about 1kmph, but know that you might need to turn it up or down from that depending on your natural pace. Don't try to run to a speed, listen to your body and change the speed according to that. You will probably get very warm on that treadmill (short sleeves are recommended) or possibly have a drop in motivation so a good playlist or podcast helps.

Thanks, I’ll try that 👍

Hi F2R - I’ve just seen your sponsorship donation to me for Alzheimers’ Challenge.

Thanks so much what a really lovely gesture. I promise not to let you down. This challenge will be done even if I have to crawl it...
