Thanks for that Thumbs

I would like my reduce the size of my 'derier' so its good to know that.

I will still be going to the gym regularly, 1. because I am paying for it and 2. because I like using the cross trainer and the recumbant bikes, and I get to check out any fit guys (if there are any in at the time)

Hey, theres nothing wrong with looking!!

But I will still try to get out 'on the road' as it were as I am going to enjoy this much more than running on the treadmill.

As it is, I go to the gym 2-3 times a week, and run outdoors twice a week. This is good at the moment because it's dark by the time I manage to escape the lab. Plus yeah, it's good to cross-train (and check out fit guys, but annoyingly my gym is lacking in that department). PLUS I use the treadmill to do my tempo runs, just because it's easier to calculate and keep a pace up, so if you set it on a gradient, it's not soooo bad. Also, I get free yoga and pilates classes, so they're handy (and use of the sauna and swimming pool which is cool for chilling out).

Well done little minxie, i only started running three weeks ago and have never run on a treadmill. I go out three times a week at 6.30 in the morning and like you are doing a run/walk program. This week is is run for a minute walk for two minutes, but seven times. I also get a buzz from doing it outside and feel great by the time i get home, although it is very cold when I go out I soon warm up. I am doing some warmup exercises first and then doing some stretching when i get back before jumping into a hot shower, then i am ready to face the day in the office.
