    I seem to run a lot faster on the treadmill. Is it physiologically
    equivalent to running on a track or a trail? I know you don't get the
    road/trail imperfections, maybe that's part of it?

    I had a treadmill yesterday that had built in fans. I turned those
    puppies on, and almost immediately was able to pick up my pace with no
    extra effort. That's one drawback, it gets hot in the gym and there's
    no airflow.

    you're not jogging faster......or anywhere.

    Running outside involves moving air; something that takes a bit of energy
    even on a calm day (just moving air mass requires energy that does not go
    into propulsion).

    Also trails tend to offer variety in terrain and also requires more
    stabilizing muscle use.

    Also, the speed on treadmills may not be accurate.

    OK, this makes sense.

    Well, since I'm a janitor, I do have some high speed air movers I could
    set up. I'm not sure the club would be too keen on that though.

    I've been using the treadmill all week, have to run at night this week
    and I hate running outside after dark. I think I'm getting a good
    workout, I've been focusing on speed and bringing up my pace. Almost
    fell off tonight, started slowing down and wasn't aware of it.

    No more different hiding in the bathroom and masturbating and going to a four
    star hotel and spending the evening with a $1,000 prostitute.

    Who'd be "hiding" in the bathroom? Last time me rented a room I "went
    at it" right there in my room, and hall, and courtyard, and woods,
    and... well youse see.

    I got one for 45 bottles, does that ad up?

    Of course because I'm an idiot, my posts maybe equally as idiotic.

    .. . . and there's no place to spit. Which is why I don't run on the

  16. I am a runner and have been running for about 8 years. Other than
    being a little boring to me, I find that running on the treadmill
    gives you the same type of workout. It depends on what you are going
    for. I wouldnt recommend it for a sprint workout because it is
    obviously not fast enough and wouldnt be the same feeling as a track
    or cement. Hills are a good thing about running outside but as long
    as your treadmill has an incline option, I would say that will get you
    in shape and also provide an equivalent workout for some
    cardiovascular endurance.

    Jack Daniels gives two big benfits of the incline option:

    1) You can run uphill without having to run downhill (downhill running
    be very hard on your body).

    2) By setting the incline, you can reduce the impact of each step as
    compared to running on the flat.

  19. Hey everybody,

    I don't know if anyone else experiences this but I find treadmill
    running to be much harder on my body. After a run on the treadmill I
    find my joints and back hurt more, and I find the run to be more
    jarring whereas I find a run outside to be much easier on my body.
    Does anyone else find this?

    Not I. The opposite is true in my case.
