Well today’s the day... if I manage it 😲

Question... my last two runs have been on the treadmill due to weather and time available. I normally run in the park on grass and tarmac. So here’s the question... do I do my last run on the treadmill or on grass/ tarmac ?

I’m afraid of failing if I do the grass/tarmac but also failing by finishing a long C25K on the treadmill🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s been a long C25K as it has been interrupted by time off work etc due to the loss of my brother and father within weeks of each other in May and June ❤️

I’ve been determined to finish it, so I have repeated days,several times to get here-and now it’s here 🤞🏽

Do what you feel like. Finishing isn’t the end so whichever you pick, do the other afterwards. You’ve a lifetime of fitnesses. Complete the run inside or out and be proud !

I think you have to do what you feel comfortable with. It’s not a failure at all to do it on treadmill - my friend, who inspired me with this program, did her entire C25k on treadmill and now alternates between that and outside. Well done on getting to this point as well! Good luck! X
