Outside or treadmill?

[TheJiggler]

This might be a silly question but.. Are we aloud to do any of our Couch to 5k runs on the treadmill at the gym?

Either or whichever suits

I did all the C25K on a treadmill. I'm now running outside but still adjusting.

Brilliant thank you so much I was just reading up on it all. Hope to do bit of both

I did all of my couch to 5k on the treadmill I wasn’t confident enough to run out side until I completed it. Also I started in January and didn’t like the dark, by March I was all done and ready to take on the outside.

Treadmill or outside, as long as you're running 😜

Though I myself prefer running outside. I have my own treadmill in my appartment, but I actually hardly ever use it. Because the running feels unnatural to me as the machine dictates your speed and not your body. Running outside feels much better to me as my body decides it's own pace.

Either is fine, but having tried both, I’d recommend outside, I did the whole of C25k outside, you get more of a sense of distance and it’s more satisfying. I found treadmill running was like being a hamster 🐹 on a wheel.
