'm convinced that treadmill running is harder. Over the past year, I've ended up having to do a lot of my speedwork sessions in the gym on a treadmill, simply because I'm doing them in my lunch hour and there are no usable roads nearby. My times are now
. Sometimes I get up at 5.30am to fit in speedwork or distance with a friend. On Fridays my club does a circuit session open to kids so we get a core session and they get the basics of good health. You really do have to be flexible and work things around
