Have done this C25K 3 times and also the 10K once just had a short gap. However I have done most of my running on the treadmill but started the 5k this time out on the road. Was a lot harder and really struggled some days, but today I ran back on the treadmill and it was so much easier so it goes to show me that I’ve improved. Feeling chuffed. Looking forward to being out on the road tomorrow.

Well done.

On this forum they advise to have 1% incline on the treadmill, to imitate outdoor running.

I’m used to indoor but find out door more challenging I would love to find a run buddy.

Had somebody challenge me on the treadmill today I loved it !

What about you ?

Since I started outdoor, I can hardly go back to the treadmill.

I would also like to have a run buddy. Most of the time I am on my own which is less fun. Or don't even bother to go 😭

I feel your pain if I had someone waiting down the road I would not let them down.
