W5R3 !

Well I've only gone and done it. On a treadmill though, is that cheating?

I kept my pace between 8.2 and 8.8 km/hr and my max pulse rate was 154 which I believe is still ok for a 63 yr old.

I had a few aches of course but my dodgy knees and back held up.

Ian.

No that's certainly not cheating!! I do most of my running on a treadmill, just completed w6 and the sense of achievement was great for me! Keep it up!!

It’s only cheating if you hold the rails and pull your feet up! Great job. Enjoy week 6, keep the pace down into run 1.

Ha. Don't do that but I do get someone else to do the running for me.
