Downloaded the app today and did my first run on the treadmill at the gym! I have never ran before so was worried about it being too much but I just about managed it and I’m so proud our myself!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum and C25K Kte96, I am so happy to hear from you that you ran your first run of week 1 on the treadmill* at the gym, onwards and upwards to run 2 week 1 and on to week 9 on around 9 weeks, remember that you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, enjoy the journey. 😊

* here on C25K a threadmill is called a dreadmill 😂 because most people who do C25K run it outside but dread doing it inside on a treadmill if the weather is bad. 😊

And you should be proud, it’s an important step to a new you! Follow the plan and let us know how you get on! There’s loads of support here on the forum for when you need extra help - or when you want to declare your achievement from the rooftop! Good luck!

Well done! Taking the first step is often the biggest.

And ignore all the ‘dreadmill’ comments you’re bound to get; if you want/need to run on a treadmill you go for it - that’s the only running I do, and there’s nowt wrong with running on a treadmill!

Enjoy the journey - I loved seeing how much longer I was able to run each week, it really encouraged me to keep at it.
