I ran in the gym today .... I may have run faster I have learnt I prefer outside running. Now if 15 weeks ago (-I had a hick up & repeated a few weeks...) if anyone had said Hey you’ll live outside running I’d have laughed. But... I do!!! Still 3 1/2 stone to loose but it will go !!!!

Keep going all. If this 55 yr old can do it so can you x

Weight loss is more to do with your diet, join the weight loss forum on here if you haven't already.

Good luck and have a good day 😊

15 weeks ago I did.... but not now...

Going indoors from running outside, do you not find it a bit boring indoors?

Yes.. no.... I’m in The USA...... no idea of the area & it’s 35 degrees. So from a safety and health point of view it’s what was needed...

Ok, that's hot! 🥵

I only asked did you find going indoors to be boring after running outside.
