Up at 5.40 and in the gym by 6. What's that all about. Run done. Steady and not quick but completed in one piece. Tried not to look too embarrassed when phone fell on to the treadmill and shot of the end just as I finished....sarah saying well done across the gym.

Hi. I've done park and outside on pavement as well but as the weather got bad I have stayed indoors on treadmill. I find it easier as I can keep a steady pace plus it's a bit easier on my knees. When I've completed week 9 I shall go outside more and build up the distance better.

Hello, I have done all of mine on the treadmill as I find outside harder, mainly due to hayfever. I do want to go outside more as the treadmill can feel a bit boring sometimes. How do you feel about using it?

Not long now! Don’t worry about pushing the pace too quickly, that will come later! There is plenty of running post-graduation 😁👍
