One of my take homes from this site is that everyone shares couch25k and at the same time it’s totally our own. I bet there’s plenty of folk running on treadmills here (and after a couple of sessions with storm Dennis I was wondering why on Earth I was doing it outside ...) perhaps, as you get used to it, and your body adapts to running you may have a brief scamper outside... but there isn’t a better or worse :)! Frankly once summer arrives I’ll wish I was inside in the shade ...

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Do it whichever way suits you..................running on a treadmill would be beyond me, my boredom threshold is very low.

Enjoy your journey.
