I normally run with my daughter by the canal which is lovely (and mostly flat ๐Ÿ˜) but Iโ€™m away from home at the moment in Stockholm, so decided to do my run on the treadmill in the hotel gym. A bit weird to get used to as I get dizzy very easily due to vertigo, and a bit self conscious as thereโ€™s mirrors everywhere ๐Ÿ˜จ but it was ok and I completed W6R1 without any issues. Very pleased ๐Ÿ˜

Well done you. Running on the treadmill must have felt strange when you're used to running outside ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Very well done! ๐Ÿ˜€

I find balancing on a treadmill strange too - I have to hold on intermittently! .. And mirrors - nooo! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Great job. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™d like mirrors around me when I run ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Enjoy the last intervals of the plan next time out.
