  1. I've been running indoors on a treadmill for most of this past winter. Now
    that the weather's gotten nice again, I ran outside yesterday for the first
    time in several months. I notice that not only did the run take a lot out
    of me, but my knees are also somewhat stiff today. Nothing debilitating, no
    pain or anything, and they're maybe a little better now than they were
    yesterday, but I'm wondering if this is normal . . .

    Gee, you should write a book about your unique experience with that.

    You're like a swimmer who can't figure out why he's wet.

    Gosh, I'm totally new to running, but there is no comparison between outside
    and treadmill. I started out 100% on the treadmill, and was discouraged to
    go outside and find it so much more difficult, but now that my body is
    adapting to "real life" conditions, it's much more enjoyable. If you can
    pick a great place to run, with nice scenery, you can just focus on enjoying
    the journey and not worry about pace or distance. Take your time and don't
    pound your body.

    The transition from softer surfaces to running outside on pavement was
    pretty tough for me. If I had taken the good advice here from the
    beginning, I would have gone much easier on myself, running slower and
    taking more time for rest, and I wouldn't be injured now. So learn from my
    mistakes. Ease into it slowly, and allow your body to adapt gradually to
    the demands of running on different surfaces. Joints are not used to the
    impact, and it takes awhile to grow into it. There is nothing like an
    injury to take the fun out of it though!

    Lots of bikers; lots of gyms.

  7. Karl,

    That is normal. I bought a nice treadmill last year because I wanted
    to avoid running in the snow and freezing temperatures. During the
    winter months I was averaging 80+ miles a month with a high of around
    96 miles a month. On the treadmill a was able to crank out 3 miles in
    just under 19 minutes. I'm 37 so I'm not a spring chicken but I'm not
    over the hill yet. I was pretty siked about my treadmill times. I then
    ran a 5k in March, which was the first time I had run on pavement in 3
    months. I warmed up and then ran a couple sprints in the parking lot
    and felt like I was a lumber jack trying to stay up on those spinning
    logs . Furthermore my 5k time was 2 minutes slower than what I was
    doing on the treadmill. The pavement was a lot harder on my legs and
    knees than I thought. I run so much better in a controlled environment
    with a nice treadmill that absorbs alot of the force when running. I
    think next winter that I'm going to run all winter on a higher
    inclide. This seems to make the running on the treadmill much harder.
    The higher the inclide though the harder it is on my body. I usually
    don't take any days off during the winter when I was running on the
    treadmill. So the increase in the incline could force me to take a day
    off here and there to give my body some time to recover. After that
    first 5k of the year I did move back to outdoor running. In the second
    5K of the year I knocked a solid minute off from my first 5k of the
    year so I don't feel so bad. I'm running in my third 5k of the year
    this Sunday and I'm hoping to knock off 38 seconds. Doesn't sound like
    much but knocking of seconds gets pretty hard when your running good
    times to begin with. The best thing with the treadmill purchase is
    that I'm right where I left off from last season. In fact the second
    5k I ran in this year was faster than any of my times last year.

  8. Readmill workouts are not running.

    It is. Running on a treadmill doesn't compare to running outside.
    The treadmill does most of the work for you. You just have to jump
    up a little and the belt will move under you all by itself. There's
    almost no work involved.

    Hey, Mark. If you just jump up, you'll be thrown off the back end of the
    'mill.

    That's 'cause your foot is in contact with the moving belt as it pushes off
    (or up in your case).

    Try it sometime... :-)

    You benefit from lack of wind resistance on the 'mill, a few percent at
    6:00/mile, I think. In that sense, it's easier. I'd expect treadmill
    intervals to be noticably easier because you lose the wind resistance.

    I think I have said this before, but I would rather poke my eyes out
    with ice picks than run on a treadmill. I would expect some soreness
    with your body adjusting to running outside (and possibly in the
    winter when you go back to the treadmill).

    Nah, that's a myth.

    And there's no place to be thrown "off the back end". This 'mill
    circles the Earth around the equator and is 100 miles wide. There
    is no "back end" to it. Try to visualize it sometime....

    That's all a myth. You don't really do any work on a treadmill,
    that's what the electric motor is for. Everybody knows that.

    Yup it circles the earth because the sun flared out and is too dim, so now
    it's too cold to support life on the dark side, even for one night. Thus the
    necessity for a giant treadmill to keep up with the earth's rotation so that
    the cities built upon it will have constant sunlight. Of course those who
    misbehave are sent to the dark side of the mill, or let off on the planet
    itself (gasp), which is why a second counter-rotating mill that is built on
    the first mill is required. That's the only easy way to move to another part
    of the main mill, and the only way to get off.

    Yup, you don't need to maintain your momentum with running strides because
    the electric motor is doing that for you. Just imagine for a moment if you
    were able to suspend your weight above the treadmill -- you'd be able to
    keep up with it. Thus no effort is really needed to keep up with the
    treadmill. Your legs just spin. In fact it's just like spinning on bicycle
    trainer on the easiest setting. Really it's imagined exercise as a placebo.

    Ah, by your argument, one should be able to run much faster on a treadmill
    than on the flat, right?

    Since you can run 3 miles at low 6's, how much faster can you run on the
    treadmill? 25%, 33%, 50%? After all there's almost no work involved, you
    should have no trouble running much faster...I'll take that bet any day.
    I'll make it even easier, just 1 minute/mile (18%) faster than on terra
    firma. You run 3 x 5:15 miles on a treadmill (set level). Bet?

    That's the thing about trolling on the treadmill. You just move your
    legs up and down, and Dan furiously peddles the belt around for you. There's,
    like, almost no work involved!

    You mean it goes from one end of the earth to the other ? How does that make a circle ?
