Well I started this 2 weeks ago and could not do the 8 runs in week one most I could manage was 6 out of the 8 in each section so I decided to repeat week one. I don’t live in a town so no park available the roads in and out of our village have inclines which I know I would not manage so I was trying to run in the fields and boy was it difficult so I have purchased a second hand basic motorised treadmill and managed a week one run. So pleased with myself as I thought I was a lost cause. How are others finding it using a treadmill.

I try and do about 50/50 treadmill and outside and I really enjoy the treadmill, especially for the longer runs - I can just put on a TV show and jog away! Congrats on the successful run!!

I run on a treadmill. I was advised to put the incline to 1, which helps when you do start to run outside. Good luck with the programme.
I do a mix. I like the treadmill as it gives me some fixed paces - nö excuses. I run at 2% incline, walk at 7kmh and vary my running speeds by increasing it with every running interval. It gives me a great satisfaction.
