I decided to run this on a treadmill, 25 minutes of running. I found it quite easy. I can imagine running outside might have been more difficult. I’d like to know how others are finding the runs on treadmills as oppose to outside running.

I did W4R1 on the treadmill today (the rest I’ve done outdoors) and I found it pretty easy. The warm up seemed to take forever and so did the walking breaks tbh but the running felt like it went really quickly.

But yeah I definitely found the running a lot easier today.

I have run on a treadmill twice, (facilities at a birthday spa day).

It was...

“Hmmm how do I start? ... yikes how do I go at the right pace?... whoa, don’t fall off on the right... eek or the left... how does anyone ever balance on these things? ...MUST not fall off the back... eventually... help how do I get off all in one piece...??” 😂

Give me a muddy field or a beach any day! ...I have enjoyed running on the wet beach at low tide, through crunchy Autumn leaves, on crispy snow sparkling in streetlights, through dew drenched grass in the early morning, today by hedgerows filled with the scent of wild roses and the breeze on my face. 😄

PS - I’m impressed that you can balance on a treadmill for 25mins and find it quite easy!!😀
