I’m finally going to attempt my 1st outdoor run. If I put it on here I can’t back out and turn it into a walk. Wish me luck

Great , Maz1234. Just remember you are in charge of your pace. Keep it really slow. Don't worry it might take a few attempts for you to get used to it.

Let us know how you get on. Good luck 😊

Nice and slow with the understanding that it will be different to your indoor running, so may take a few runs to get used to it.

Enjoy the sunshine.

Good luck 🤞🏼 you’ve got this 💪🏼

It went really well a lot better than I expected and managed to do just short of 47 mins covering just over 4 miles. The weather is same here a little frost but not to bad . Thanks speedy60

Good for you. I love running outdoors. I find it mentally calming and takes my mind off the timing. 👍

I agree. I’m definitely going to do more outdoor running when time and weather is permitting.
