Hello everyone 😊 I have just started and have my second run of week one later today. I’ve been running on the treadmill so far, just wanted to know if anyone is running on the treadmill what speed are you running at? Thanks!

I run on a treadmill about 8k - 8.5k. But what I feel comfortable doing may be too fast or too slow for you. Speed doesn’t matter, the fact you are doing it is the thing that matters😉

Thank you! I’ve been doing 8.5k just thought it was a little slow maybe, but I agree with you, I am still doing it and the speed doesn’t matter really

Oh well you two put me to shame! I'm doing it at 7.6 for running & 5.6 for walking. Mind you, I have found that all treadmills seem to run slightly differently. That's my excuse anyway! 😉
