W4R3

[nmtg9]

Just completed w4r3 and this was my first in the gym on the treadmill.

All previous runs I've done outside with no idea of my speed.

Tonight on the treadmill I ran at 6km and walked at 4km.

Is this too slow? What speed should I be running at by week 4?

I know it's not about speed but it did feel a bit slow, but I was a bit unsure having never used a treadmill before.

Well done on completing the run! I’m on w6r2 and they have all been outdoors. I don’t think that speed is important at this stage as long as you are able to do the runs... slow and steady is the way forward and if you tire then just go slower... I can imagine on a treadmill that it is tempting to push the numbers higher!!

Ok... you should be running at your comfortable pace... if both feet were off the ground in the stride, that’s fast enough! Your comfortable (conversational) pace will improve as you progress, but there’s no schedule. Just complete the runs, like you are doing. Great job getting on the treadmill.
