Running is running. Outside or on a treadmill, it’s still running so definitely not cheating.

No it’s definitely not cheating! I think I’ll be running on the treadmill in the winter (due to dark mornings & eves) and I wouldn’t rule it out if I can’t get to run early enough for any reason. It’s good to have options. Use them in anyway that suits you. ❤️

Not cheating at all. I’ve done it on the treadmill upto week 6r3 and started outside. Just set it to 1% incline to make it feel the same. Keep going.

I escaped to the gym and did a treadmill session in Week 4 to escape the heat and also the noise from an air show down the bottom of my street. I don't consider it cheating at all. To be honest, even without setting an incline, I found it way harder than running outside.

Not what you're looking for?
