My Progress

I'm Simon Gould and I'm the author of this website. I thought rather than just talk about treadmills which I like to do, I would show my progress of running on them.

I had an injury that kept me out of running for quite a while so I was forced to start from the beginning. As though I'd never run before I started again. And what better equipment to start again on than a treadmill.

Week by week

I will post my daily runs week by week. Here you can keep track of my progress of my treadmill runs. I will post my age and weight so you can get an idea as to the point I'm starting from.

If I'm starting out on a running schedule then anyone can. This is despite gaining a lot of weight and not exercising for a long period. These runs are shown in minutes to encourage new starters and because that's the best way to begin.

* indicates a walk/run day and the number shown is the actual run time.

I don't update this page anymore. Suffice to say I found 60 minutes per day too much. I'm 42 and my left ankle couldn't take it. I still run every week day (5 days a week) for 30 minutes on a treadmill as usual and still love it. My joints and bones can take that level of intensity.

Meet The Author

I'm Simon Gould. I've been around treadmills my whole life. From running on them at an early age to working in treadmill dept's of national stores. I've run outside and I've run on treadmills and I prefer running on treadmills. I still run on one nearly every day and love it.
