Yay I managed it this time. I go on a treadmill, but tomorrow I have no car to get to the gym, do I brave the road? It’s not being out that bothers me - it’s hab=ving no handrail!

Yes do it! Many folk do a bit of treadmill and road, then there are no surprises. You are doing great!

Go outside carrying a 1m length of dowling! Far more fun when the road stays still and the scenery changes 😊Enjoy!

Try outside, its easier to transition between the running and walking than a treadmill I imagine..

Hope you are taking a rest day inbetween your running days though Purple_laces so your muscles have chance to strenghen.

Back straight, head up shoulders down, small light steps ( is what we're aiming for 😆 ) gentle jogging for the run intervals..

Good luck😊x
