Inside or Outside

I think outside is better with fresh air. Even if it’s drizzly you just keep going with my music and deep breaths.

I started c25k this time round running in the gym, as it meant I could control speed and hopefully learn pacing. That said w8r2 onwards has been done outdoors. I much prefer running outside, in the gym I would clock watch, and those seconds tick past really slowly. Running round my local lake I get to see ducks and all sorts, I know now most of the dog walkers and what the backs of most of the other local runners look like :-)

Come the winter I will probably retreat back to the gym so I can get at least 2 x 30 minuters in a week, and no one (especially me) really wants to run in the cold and driving rain/snow..

No to cold and driving rain/snow, but rain is sometimes a welcome and refreshing.
