Well, I did it - first outdoor run done. Decided not to track it on the app, so just went with what I felt comfortable with. Found it strange at first to find the right pace, so ran a bit / then walked a bit. Found giving myself points to aim for in the distance helped me get into a pace that worked. I was out for 25 mins in total and ran the last 15 mins without stopping (enxtendi g the points to run too, when I felt I could keep going) and even jogged on the spot when I needed to cross a main road! Feeling proud of myself! I am back on the treadmilll Tues and Thurs evenings night to repeat W6 runs. Sunday I plan another run outside ππββοΈ

Well done Viv. Did you enjoy the outdoors? I've done all my running outside and can't imagine doing this on a treadmill but, equally, I've never tried it so I don't know.
I did enjoy it,thanks! Well done on your graduation too ππππ₯
Thank you

Welcome to the great outdoors... and well done on finding some sun today... weβve had rain, hail, more rain and then some sun... I timed my run perfectly to coincide with the hailstorm π
Great, and sensible, running!

Iβm on W8R1 and have done all my running on the treadmill. Having the tv on helps keep the boredom away and the weather has been really badπ
