Treadmill instead of pavement

[Beccym]

7 weeks to my half and way behind on my training. Despite train shenagans, (thanks Southern), I still managed 5k on treadmill at the gym

I have to say I am not a fan of the treadmill. I took my workout clothes to work so I could go to the gym before going home and the pull of the sofa and Netflix.

Nice one!

I have yet to try a treadmill, but one thing I know is that while using one you can potentially have Netflix at the same time

My enthusiasm for treadmills wavers. I can't manage a treadmill without my iPad. In the past I've found them handy for interval sessions. When I did my streak last month, my treadmill helped me on the days I was too busy to go out and run - I was able to do it at home!

I can't manage long runs on my treadmill - even while streaming. It's just too difficult. So well done on managing 5K!

I hate treadmills they make feel all dizzy and weird.

But if it works for you then go for it, I know someone who trained for a marathon on a dreadmill so don't worry about that side of things.

Well done... I have to say I cannot run on those things, however needs must and all that. Good on you for doing it

I feel your pain. I, unfortunately, have also had to resort to the treadmill a few times over the last few weeks due to extreme cold and dangerous windchills. I find those runs a lot harder than running outside, waaaay too much clock watching and mental math going on figuring how much longer which I never do outside. But you have to do what you have to do, I guess 🤷‍♀️.
