If I’m outside I use my Garmin 305 and if I’m inside I use my Polar Heart F6.

Right on Andrew! It’s amazing what the body can do – what we can become. By the way, what exactly do you use to monitor your heart rate?

I wish I could run outside, but my knees just can’t take it. The treadmill can get a bit boring at times, but I do intervals, and that keeps it pretty interesting and makes time go by pretty fast.

Also one reason that I will be switching to more non-gym based workouts in the coming month, with the weather now getting nice over here!

I agree the treadmill can be a bit dull – helps if there is a TV to watch and the heart rate monitoring is a plus.

Another thing you could look at improvement in your resting heart rate.

See.. squeezing it in just to get it done.. No matter what! You are a runner…

I agree… I don’t like the treadmill.. I’d rather gouge out my eyes with a rusty spoon just to kill time!

Wow that difference in HR shows just how much your body has responded to the changes – not just the looks, but the inside bits and bobs too. Fabbo!

I used to prefer the treadmill but it’s just more interesting running outside!

Nice to see this inspiration. I’m still in the middle of my C25K so good to see what can happen down the road.

Have a great long weekend

You are so right about running! It's amazing how easy it is to go from barely walking to running regularly. What an accomplishment! I actually prefer the treadmill! It's funny how everyone gets used to different ways of running. Julies last blog post..An Epiphany About Overeating
