Just completed my W2R3 on the treadmill, but oh man was it a struggle! I started and it felt like there was more of a strain on my legs...even the brisk walks became a struggle. Nothing felt right. I was coming up to the last two 90 second runs and I thought I was going to have stop...
Then I look at my treadmill...I’d somehow put it on a bit of an incline!! Duh. I put it back to completely flat and it was so much easier. Oh well...looking forward to W3.
Ha this made me laugh! 
When I jog on the treadmill I set the incline to 0.5 or 1% incline as apparently this helps to mimic being outside.
Hopefully your next run will be a lot easier! 
That’s a good tip, i’ll set it to 0.5 to get me prepared for running outside!
I had it set on 3 which was a bit more difficult 😂
As Tbae says though don't stress too much over it. You can get your confidence first and always do it later on.
Yes SuperMouse is correct to simulate and ease the transfer to outside.👍
But running is running and do not go stressing about the one degree.👍
If you are continuing with the Treadmill and it suits leave it flat🤔, as your legs and lungs strengthen you can revisit it later.🌟👏👏
Is this your first post and have you had time to read the FAQ Posts.🌟👏👏
Yeah it’s a good tip from SuperMouse, I’ll set the incline to 0.5 from now on. I had it set on 3 which was a bit tougher 😂
No ive posted a couple of other times and had a look through the FAQ posts 😊
It is actually part of the FAQ Posts and the C25k programme.🤔
Yes I see you have posted before.🌟👏👏
Keep enjoying it.🌟👏👏
Yes good , look after yourself.🌟👏👏
Incline training will put you in good stead later on when you have completed c25k which you will. I had a similar incident on my treadmill. I had finished c25k on the treadmill and was reading that going from treadmill running to running outside can be a bit harder due to the fact you have wind ,different surfaces, and of course inclines. They say set your treadmill to 1% to mimic the effort needed outside.
My treadmill only has manual incline and only one position and I had no idea what the incline was. I started off running and nearly had a heart attack as it was so hard and I was struggling for breath. In the end I run for 5 mins and walked for 5 mins as there was no way I could run without stopping. I did this for 1/2 hour a time 3 times in one week.
I thought surely running outside is not this hard compared to treadmill. In the end I did some homework which I should of done to start with and found my treadmilll has only one setting for incline 4%!!!!! No wonder I was struggling but it done me a lot of good in the end but never done it since (-:
Hi Zelda the incline setting is helpful if you intend running outside as it more mimics the reality of the outside terrain. But 3 in W2, probably a tad ambitious! Good luck for W3, its a nice week
