Welcome and well done on getting started  Kaytee2023 ! You haven't cheated at all though by running on a treadmill, and I say that as someone who's never run on one in her life.

If you haven't already, do have a read of the programme guide, as it's got lots of useful information: healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Happy running!

Not cheating at all!! Well done on a magnificent start.

As long as you followed the instructions correctly, it doesn't matter whether you ran outside or inside, on pavement or on a treadmill. It all counts! 👍

Welcome to the forum and the program and very well done on starting!And absolutely not cheating at all on the treadmill.

There are many that have done the whole program on one .

Do have a read through the program guide as linked to by Cmoi

Its packed with helpful information to see you safely through the program.

Keep all your runs nice and slow, stay hydrated and do remember the after run stretches referred to in the guide.

Most of all, have fun !
