...and I am excited to start on my C25K program! I was going to start this tonight on my regular workout day because the ground was clear but it decided to snow here a few inches over night :( Put a kink in my plan but I wanted to know if you can successfully start this on the treadmill? I'd like to start tonight but can't really run outside when it's covered in snow (or can I?).

    Welcome!
    I did all of my training on the treadmill. It can be done.
    Running indoors doesn't train the set of muscles that transport you forward when you run outdoors so if you do a lot of training indoors, you may notice a difference. But at this stage, go for the treadmill and get started. It's the best you can do for your running. :smile:

    I have two little ones and work full-time. I did whatever I could do: treadmill, outside, lunch, morning, evenings, with a stroller, alone...however I could get it done. It's over a year later and I'm still running.
