I’ve broken my treadmill

[LeyaBlu3]

I know it was old and it was £5 second hand but still ☹️

[Hidden]

What week are you on ?

[LeyaBlu3 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I’ve recently graduated

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

O dear, you have broken the dreadmill, how did that happen? That is the first time I have heard of that happening, you say it was old and only cost £5 which at the time you bought it was a bargain, just hope you can resume with your running, either outside or get a new treadmill for continuing your runs at home.

[Rosiepug Graduate]

Are you able to get outside to run? I hope you find a solution soon.

[LeyaBlu3 Graduate in reply to Rosiepug]

I’m gonna try my best. thank you

[misswobble Graduate]

Outside it is then 😃

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

The great outdoors is trying to tell you something.

[primaballerina]

oh, don't leave us hanging... we all want to know HOW you broke it!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to primaballerina]

I didn’t like to ask that myself - but you’re right, I’d love to know the whole story 😄

[LeyaBlu3 Graduate in reply to primaballerina]

The belt kept slipping, I tightened it trying to fix it and it went bang! Barrings fell out of the rear roller 😂

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

You know you want to get out there ! Shy runners tend to prefer early morning or dusk, if that’s any help ?!

[davelinks Graduate]

Good time to go outside!😊

Going into Spring, well, it's supposed to be! even in the dodgy weather just wrap up in jacket n hood or hat..soon warm up with a bit of running!

[runner56 Graduate]

Don't see it as a negative. Embrace it as a positive and start pounding those pavements!!!!

Good luck

[Calopteryx]

I'm currently feeling as if I might break, not the treadmill! Hoping it gets easier. Good luck with your outdoor running.

[LeyaBlu3 Graduate in reply to Calopteryx]

Aww bless you. take it slow. I struggled on nearly all my runs it got better when I found my pace eventually. I know it’s hard especially when you have health problems. You can do it!! don’t break yourself though

[Razouski]

I think you should give in to the lure of the great outdoors. I started my C25K on the treadmill at the gym, but once my daughter dragged me (kicking and screaming ) outside I actually was hooked. You may well surprise yourself at how invigorating outdoor running can be.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate]

A fiver, that was a bargain. Have you tried Parkrun?

[LeyaBlu3 Graduate in reply to BaddieThePirate]

No not yet.

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Good! Go outside 👌🏽

[LeyaBlu3 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

I did... it didn’t go to well 😂

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to LeyaBlu3]

It’s much nicer. Persevere.
