You should still be able to do C25k on a treadmill 😀

I only ever run on a treadmill as I watch Netflix at the same time 😂 it's the only way to motivate myself. I did 7k this morning watching The Fall, I get bored otherwise

I walk at 5km and run at 7km

What do you mean by this? Do you kean the distance you cover?

Presumably that's the speed set on the treadmill? I tend to walk at 6km/hr, run anywhere between 8 and 10 km/hr depending on how energetic I'm feeling (not for very long when I'm at 10!)

I've just finished couch to 5k on a treadmill. The only downside I found was that I would get so hot as I did it in a garage with no windows.

@Mcmole - get yourself one of amazon.co.uk/Generic-CRC18-Standing-Circulator-Velocity/dp/B07ZPCFK8L/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=free+standing+fan&qid=1599597115&sr=8-10 these]] One of the most important pieces of equipment in my home gym Grin

Not sure what happened to that link!
If you google high velocity fan you'll see what sort of fan I have.

Mcmole · 08/09/2020 21:43

Ooh thanks @nbee84 that looks ideal as getting too hot was the thing I struggled most with

nbee84 · 08/09/2020 21:46

It's brilliant. They're not particularly quiet fans but I tend to have my music up anyway.

Fantabulous1 · 14/09/2020 18:55

I got one of these fans in the summer from CPC after I saw it on hotukdeals when we had our heatwave. Well worth it, a complete game changer when I'm running on the treadmill on a hot day!!!
