Completed W5r2 yesterday, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The only thing is the treadmill boredom, I listen to music which helps a bit, I may download some videos to my ipad. R3 is looking scary but I'm determined to finish it this time.

Well done, you are doing really well. Videos are a good idea. I like audio books and podcasts too. A good book can really relieve the boredom. Sometimes I go running, just so I can listen to another chunk.

I listen to audiobooks - it really helps as you have to concentrate on the story and almost forget you’re running!

Can you run outdoors?

Unfortunately I'm stuck with my treadmill as I'm shielding as I've had a transplant.

At least when I'm allowed out I'll be a runner 😄

Get prime video or Netflix for videos. It helps!

Not what you're looking for?
