First Treadmill run

So with the weather being so delightful I decided this morning I would do week 8 run 3 on the treadmill at the gym. 2 notes to self for next time which may be useful to others:

1. Select “treadmill”, not “run“ on Fitbit or accuracy is crap! Fitbit said I ran a KM less that the treadmill did and the map view of where It thinks I ran is hilarious; through rivers and all sorts 😂.

2. Seeing the speed constantly made me focus more on going faster. Not necessarily a bad thing but was much tougher on myself than usual so must not get too carried away and remember to pace self.

Happy running folks! ✌️

I do all my runs on the treadmill at the moment, it's so hard not to look at those counters isn't it. I cover mine with a towel and peek occasionally lol

Oh no! Saving them for outside! Back in my old Asics for the gym! Looking at the weather I’ll be back in them again tomorrow! 😢
