Walked the 2 miles to the gym then it started to rain so did the treadmill so BORING but I saw my stats

12.20 for the first 29 mins then upped it to 12 for the last 2 mins 2.70 miles not as good has Sunday but getting there.

I prefer the outdoors though

I own a treadmill, but I can almost count the times I used it on my hands. I really really dislike running on a treadmill. It feels much harder to me and this while I am much slower on it too. No, I prefer the outdoors too.

Many people on this forum call a treadmill a DREADmill, don't know why😢

in reply to AlMorr

I sometimes call it a dreadmill too. I like the fact I have one for those times when the weather is truly dreadful and it is unwise to go out. But running on a treadmill feels so much much harder to me than running outdoors. I think it has to do with the treadmill dictating your pace, while outdoors your body shifts in pace very slightly what makes it feel more naturally.

You like running on a treadmill then, AlMorr?

The only time I have ran on a treadmill was when I was getting my gait analysis for my running shoes.

And did you like it?

It seemed OK, but I was only on it for no more than 2 minutes, perhaps running a 5K would let me know exactly how it feels compared to running out doors.
