Decided to run my second run this week on the road rather that at the Gym, despite the 30c heat I much preferred it to staring at the wall at the gym, although did find it a little harder but much easier to run at my own pace. I think I'll stick to outdoors from here on in.
Didn't find the runs quite as intimidating this time, and still surprised to find I'm quite enjoying it!

Well done, I agree running in the hot weather does have an impact. When I started C25K it was a very hot day around 1 o’clocK I think, so it was tough.
I had a recommendation from ‘fabulous450’ to run in the morning as it’s cooler. Why not try this as it might make it a bit easier and remember to keep hydrated.
I was thinking about that when I was about half way round, my only problem is that during the week I already have a 6am start to get to work and I'm not sure I have it in me to get up any earlier! I'm doing parkrun tomorrow so that should at least be in a cooler part of the day
Great that you have thought about park run and gym.
I've really enjoyed Parkrun, going to try and get there every weekend - one way of measuring my progress.
