Sports Relief!

I ran for 37 minutes exactly on a treadmill at my local gym for the Sports Relief charity. The gym was basically performing a non-stop 24 hour treadmill session. I played my part, running until I completed 8km (Well 8.06km just to complete the an exact minute).

The previous best distance covered was 7.68km in one hour, so I simply wanted to cover a greater distance, where I thought it was appropriate to finish on 8km - just slightly above.

Treadmill Coopers Test


Unfortunately due to a lunchtime dental checkup, I did not have time to run my usual outdoor distance of 4.45km, but I just had time to at least perform an indoor 12 minutes Cooper Test on one of the Park Royal's treadmills.


I managed 2,860 metres within the 12 minutes.


When I run on a treadmill, I always remember the reasons why I run outside. It's pretty boring and you easily begin to overheat. The last time I ran indoors was almost a year ago on the 9th February 2007.
