Completed W8R1 yesterday on cruise ship treadmill, not too difficult other than a bit wobbly due to ships movement.

Turned out it was very slow as i didn't know what speed to set the treadmill too, and didn't want exhaust myself for the longer time. It appears I run a lot faster on the road.

But having said that, I did it! 😁

Ha, ha, I had a similar incident a few weeks back when I had to use a treadmill (twice!) at the gym where I was on holiday. Not really for me, but it did serve it's purpose, lol.

I seem to run a lot slower on the treadmill too. I don’t understand why. It doesn’t feel like I’m going slower 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes it was odd, I can usually judge my speed by where I am on my usual running route. I guess not having that I was cautious of going too fast and exhausting myself.
