I keep reading on here the question:- which is harder the treadmill o running outside? Well here is my understanding.
I'm up at week 9 now and have been for a week or two as I am waiting for my wife "mrs_ship" hip to get better and we graduate together, we started together and we will graduate together!!! Anyway I was away on business this week so I checked into one of those village hotels, you know the ones with the gym, and what an amazing gym it was! So finished work, returned to hotel and got myself changed for my run. Luckily the gym was massive with loads of treadmills. Once I sorted the manual programme on the treadmill out I was off with a view of hopefully running 5k, well it turned out I set it for 5 mins and just as I was getting settled I had to stop, "NOT HAPPY", anyway re set for 25 mins and off we went again, at this poin I must tell you I had forgotten my ear phones and also couldn't see any tell to watch. 10 mins passed and there was no breeze, air con pointing my way and I was overheating, gremlin on my shoulder saying, nobody knows you, stop if you want, he stayed there for the full 25 min runs, I clock watched every chuffing minute. I stuck at I but I hated it!!
Every respect to you treadmill runners, but not for me!! I'm off out now for run round my normal route!!!
