    How effective is this if I tried to do it on a treadmill?
    Its winter where I live and its cold and dark by the time I get home from work so I recently joined a gym so I could get some exercise in and I would like to "get into" running but just not really to bloody keen to do it outside right now!

    I do some of the days on a treadmill. If I am doing weights after it is just easier. After reading lots on here I now set the incline to 2% to emulate the outdoors.

    Still gives me a good feeling of working out and I can track my speed/distance better.

    I do it on a treadmill...I like the convenience. I don't see myself running races, so am not concerned w "outdoor" conditions so much! :smiley:

    Bumping this thread up again! Last night I did W5D2 and it went really well.

    My last 3 runs, my husband and daughter (age 9) have run with me, while my boys (ages 7 and 5) bike along. So motivating to have them all with me and unbelievable how easy it is for my 9 year old! We finished at just under 6 min/km. I'm pretty nervous about tomorrow's 20 min. straight run!
