A day late but completed it. Couldn't work out why I was struggling so early into todays run until I realised the treadmill was set to an incline of 8 ! It goes up to 16 so fairly steep I'm guessing. At least it felt better after that until I could feel a stitch coming on toward the end. Roll on week 7.

Well done to you for running week 6 run 3 on the Dreadmill o I should have said threadmill, many people on C25K call it the Dreadmill.

Thanks for the quick reply DaveMu, I will admit I have no experience of using a threadmill, but from other people's comments on using a threadmill most hate it hence the name Dreadmill.

8% incline for 25 minutes! That’s a huge hill! Well done!
