I use a treadmill, I find it easier to control my breathing some how ( no wind resistance). Plus no one can see me😜

Outdoors is the only way - it's such a great feeling!

have to agree with steve, love running outdoors and how it leaves you feeling refreshed afterwards (after you've recovered of course!!) :)

There are a quite a lot of people that start on a treadmill, even if it is terribly boring

It is easier than outdoors, and you can have a more consistent speed, but the feel good factor of an outdoor run cannot be reproduced on a treadmill.

I use the treadmill (can't run outside except parkrun). It's great for intervals but mind-numbingly boring to run long distances. Set the treadmill to 1% to compensate for the slightly easier run.

Not what you're looking for?
