    I hate big roads too... :(
    Congrats on making it!

    Thanks a lot. I need to find better routes to run, though this is not the most developed of all countries and there are always crazy drivers, stuff on the roads, and missing sidewalks.

    ...and congrats on W6D2 :smile: I'm sure you'll manage, now that you've come so far.

    I do much better outside than on the treadmill. 42 minutes outside. 47 minutes on treadmill. I think it is probably easier to quit inside since you just have to hop off. Outside... I still gotta get home! LOL.

    I'm a very recent C25k Graduate. It works! Keep going!

    I cycled from Wandsworth to the city this morning, quite hard work heading into wind the whole time.

    Enjoy it, the Thames paths get pretty busy at lunchtimes but everyone is pretty friendly.

    Nice little ride then!!

    We're off now, and will hit the canal paths near canary Wharf. Its a little quieter at this hour - best break out the Sunnies!!

    W5D2 nailed it!
    5 minutes warmup
    3x8 minutes running
    3x5 minutes brisk walking
    1x5.20 minutes running to my house door and collapsing there.

    6.00km / 3.73miles
    49:20 minutes
    8:13 min/km pace / 12.87min/miles

    This is a real speed record for me. I tried out a new app today which doesn't seem to have a graphical pace display (haven't found it yet) and I forgot to switch the running average on. Result: I ran much faster. In my previous runs I was about 8:31ish

    It's an amazing feeling when you want to go out and run, isn't it? Well done on finishing week 2!

    Thanks! Did W6D3 tonight! Last two runs were on the treadmill and today I went running through the hills - my butt is falling off! 22 min of non-stop running (I actually did 24)!

    I wish I could run on lunchtime, but I work in a creepy neighborhood... Do it in the evenings instead...

    It is vice versa for me - hills outside are tough. And I think I run faster outside and get tired quickly...
