Best place to run

I would love to run outdoors but I have very pale skin and I think it’s probably better to stick to the treadmill. Will the running programme still work this way?

I have very pale skin too and honestly you’ll be fine outside - you’re not out there for that long anyways :) run early morning / late evening or lather up with sun cream.

But to answer your question, yes you can still do it on the treadmill but if you ever move to outdoor running (say in the winter) it might feel a bit different - but you’ll still be able to do it!
