Thread: treadmil vs running

running outside is a better bet
i run on a treadmill for the sake of doing cardio, not for monitoring distance and/or calories.

treadmill is fine.

so if i can run 3miles on the treadmill in 25 minutes i can run 3 miles outside in 25 minutes?

Probably depends on terrain, hills, weather, traffic, etc.

lets say i ran it on a track.

fo rme running on a treadmill can never compare with running outside! outside is far more intense and strenuous as you have the different factors outlined above to contend with! wrap up and pound that pavement!

Rocky didn't ran on a fucking treadmill! He ran outside with heat and snow.

Rocky was also fictional, but i'm picking up what you're laying down

alright ill run outside. thanks.

No. Rocky wasn't a fictional character. I was based on my great grandfather's life, the great Ricardo "Rocky" Barbosa. Really!

I can't get into the mood of running on a treadmill. I'll get bored fast. There's no substitute to fresh air filling your lungs.

no rocky was based on chuck wepner

Would you stop it. If its to cold out then just run on a treadmill. When its nice out then run outside.

ok.

Ever try breathing freaking -3 degree F air? It freaking hurts me to walk from the parking lot to where I work. I'll run inside thanks

Wuss.

To simulate outside running on a treadmill, put the incline up to 1.0 Its not exactly the same but makes you propel yourself forward more than just letting your feet go backward if running on a flat treadmill. As stated in the other thread, i only run on a treadmill. I have enough joint problems to deal with already and i'm only 22, don't need bum knees.

You burn more calories outside in cold air. Treadmill running is a good bit easier than running outside, when you take into account wind resistance, constant gradient changes etc.

Given the choice, outside is more beneficial, but there's not a lot in it.

Congratulations danny81! Your original post in this thread only had one spelling error. Seriously, you're getting better, keep it up! It's much easier to read.

Treadmill isn't the same as outdoors. Treadmill running is bounding in an attempt to keep pace with a moving ground, running is pushing against a solid object. OK for losing weight, though, but not optimal.
