Does anyone find they run better on a treadmill than outside? Hoping this will change & I’ll actually be able to run outside with ease.

I did the whole of C25K on a treadmill and in the 5 years since, I continue to do a mixture of both treadmill and outdoors.

Initially, outdoors *does* feel more difficult, but for me , I got used to it very quickly. Your body and mind adjusts.

Don't overthink it or focus on the negatives... just enjoy the process of running, whether indoors or out :-)

Thanks for the reply.

At the moment I’ve just completed week 5 & run 20 mins non stop, enjoying it though.
