Started Couch to 5K again

I’ve not run since October, life just got in the way…. A cruise in November , Christmas and I started working from home on the 2nd Jan meant a few extra pounds were put on.

So after Christmas we treated ourselves to a good treadmill.

I have been walking on it most days, but started C25K last week, I went straight into week 3, which I completed yesterday, I’m finding it very comfortable,

I had never used a treadmill before but I am really enjoying it. I’m looking forward to starting week 4 on Friday.

What a great gift to treat yourselves to, the weather outside could easily put you off

I’ve been thinking of getting a treadmill but there’s so much choice out there. Which one did you go for and how did you decide?

We got a very good deal on a Reebok Jet 300, which was 50% off from Argos. We wanted the widest and longest track area that we could afford, plus my husband is 17st, so this was a deciding factor for us. We were complete novices on what was the best option for us, so tried to read as many reviews as possible. Hope this helps, plus ours folds upwards and has a slow release when you lower it. I have attached a couple of pics.
