First time running on a treadmill!! It was weird but I did it. I joined a gym coz I now need extra work on toning up especially my core and upper body. I did my runs prob quicker than being outside but I was able to complete them so it’s all good 😉👌🏃🏽‍♀️

Everyone has their own views on treadmills. I prefer to be outside and there’s evidence it’s even better for mental health. (To be clear, running on a treadmill is also good for mental health: but running outside is even better, particularly in terms of reducing the risk of dementia in old age.) I run on a treadmill if running outside is dangerous (lightning or ice for example) or if I’m in the gym already for another purpose. Otherwise I run outside. But all of it is better than the couch.

Hi I use the gym at lot when the weather is horrible which is better than missing. Also I find the traffic fumes difficult and I don’t even live in a dense traffic area. Well done with your progress. I’m not finding it easy this week, just finished W6r3. Hoping to get my mojo back for week 7
