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.

yesterday, but I'm wondering if this is normal . . .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! -

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. -
Readmill workouts are not running.

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. -

'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.--

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).John

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....Quoted message said:

that's what the electric motor is for. Everybody knows that.(I guess Dan has completely missed the other treadmill thread. ;-))

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.Quoted message said:

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.Quoted message said:

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?-- Dan

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!Cheers,
