Just done this one - on a treadmill as well, which I know is not as tough as outside so put the incline up to a measly 1.

After 20 mins suddenly felt quite faint and a bit nauseous (first time I've had that) so stopped, got off and waited a min or so then got back on. Put the elevation down and continued to the end.

Felt a bit deflated. I guess it's the reason we have to run it three times in the week as it's not going to be easy the first time we run for 30 mins. Strange to feel odd after 20 mins when I've run that time multiple times by now.

Sometimes I leave 2 days rest between runs and maybe I need to do that for this week πŸ€”

Pah, anyway, will not be beaten and hope to get outside for my next runs and graduate soon ! πŸ† πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ‘πŸ₯‚πŸŽ‰

Ps please excuse the ramblings!

I was running on the treadmill when it was really hot but now it's cooled down a bit in the evenings I'm back to running down the lanes round my house. I find running on the treadmill harder than running outside to be honest as I find I focus on how much time I've got left on the treadmill whereas running outside I don't have that as landmarks provide my markers for how far I've got (along with the lovely Sarah in my ear). Also I find it easy to find and regulate my pace outside. I think it's quite easy with the treadmill to end up going too fast and I found the more bouncy motion on the treadmill made me feel a bit nauseous. Do you normally run outside?? Anyway you sound as if you are close to graduation - well done !!! I'm sure you'll make it !!

Your title really made me laugh out loud! Sounds like you're doing ok to me, can def recommend running outside, SO much nicer than a sweaty old gym. Try it if you can, you'll never go the gym again!
