Well done for starting. Yes, I did the first few weeks on the treadmill in a gym, because I was nervous about my dodgy knees. However, once I moved outside there was no turning back! Whatever suits you is fine for you. It's all running. You might find running outside a very different experience, but there are benefits of finding fresh air and different routes. Whatever you choose, good luck.

I try to avoid streets and run on paths or soft surfaces. Starting on the treadmill will give you confidence if you are nervous. I hope you enjoy it. Take it slowly!

Hello and welcome to the forum and the program.

Have you read the program guide ?

It's full of usefull information to get you started !

Lots of people do this program on a treadmill , that's fine , some swap and change depending on weather , some then move outside !

Whatever is the best for you is fine .

Whichever you do , enjoy the program 👍
