In 15 years of running I've used a treadmill maybe 15 times. There are lots of run studios popping up though and it makes me revisit the benefits but I am not looking towards a treadmill anytime soon. The last two years in the Northeast has seen substantial snowfall but I still had no desire to jump on that machine. I'd rather use a mechanical bull.Jamik Ligonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160517401377407138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-84251432876866924772015-09-28T13:26:32.334-07:002015-09-28T13:26:32.334-07:00I prefer outside as well.

Listening to awesome podcasts (Leviathan, Wormwood, Serial, Joe Rogan) or watching a movie makes time FLY, and I can zone out and listen without worrying about what's around me. I also run super early before work, and am crazy scared of the dark and don't feel safe running outside at that time. <br /><br />It works for me, though it's definitely not for everyone! I do love a good outdoor run on the weekend or when my work schedule allows for me to run later in the morning.

To overcome the boredom on the treadmill, I usually place an iPad on the monitor, crank up the volume and watch/listen to music videos. It's important for my brain to see and hear variation while using the treadmill. I also find that it's best if I cover up the clock & mileage display on the treadmill with a towel because I hate being constantly reminded that I'm not anywhere near done. I try to keep track of the time by counting how many music videos I've watched.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-6566528935833547442015-09-25T22:27:40.592-07:002015-09-25T22:27:40.592-07:00Outside!

I agree with you...it does not simulate outdoor running, and I believe it gives people a false sense of security in their own abilities because the 'mill does a LOT of the work for you (you actually are just "keeping up with it," after all). I do see the benefits is using it for speed work, but there is a danger in setting the speed too fast and sacrificing your form if you can't maintain it. Also for me, the constant repetition does not feel good on my legs; I need the great outdoors (with its various terrain) to work all of my muscles effectively. #myopinionKim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-15560708281186292902015-09-25T20:31:18.276-07:002015-09-25T20:31:18.276-07:00I don't think I"ve ever seen a picture of...I don't think I"ve ever seen a picture of you on a 'mill. I have an 18 year old treadmill that gets used very rarely--we get some really extreme weather in Chicago and the only time I use it is for speedwork in the winter and/or when it's icy. That's it. My husband has replaced the belt. Sometimes it spits pieces of plastic at me. Speeds up and slows down randomly.

Outdoors almost always before the gym unless I am going to be struck by lightening or eaten by a bear. Well, maybe I'd rather be eaten by a bear. <br />Luckily, my gym has an indoor track. Running in circles (16 laps = 1 mile) is not that much better or less boring than a treadmill, but I try not to complain.<br />Funny you mention making smoothies...one year at the Nike Women's Marathon race expo, they had blenders attached to stationary bikes and as you pedaled, you actually made a smoothie!

I hate doing treadmill workouts so much that I once did a memorable long run of about 9-10 miles in 0 F cold doing endless loops around the cleared paths on a college campus. It was like one of those National Lampoon movies: "Hey, look kids! It's that weird phallic statue again!" This was the week after I tried to do a longer loop and ended up unexpectedly having to plow through 18" of unshoveled snow at one point. Good times. Heart rate got right up on that one.<br /><br />On a related note, some gyms/schools/colleges have indoor tracks, which are an awfully nice alternative to treadmills when it's awful outside. It's a pain in the butt to do 12 loops to the mile or whatever, but better than breaking yourself falling on the ice. A tip someone else shared with me for counting laps is to figure out how many laps you need to do to get your desired mileage, and then put together a little baggie with as many jelly beans/peanuts/raisins/etc. as laps and eat one per lap (or do one per 2 or 4 laps, whatever). When you run out of treats, you're done!

I was 50 pounds overweight and needed to loose them. Now, less those 50, I love trail running as much as the treadmill. During the ice and too-dark-thirty, I don't have any excuse to not get moving with my treadmill. Proud to say I have done many races up to and including half marathons. Prepping for those, I hit the trail and roads. Sometimes I just need to go numb and just go forward without thinking about falling on my a $$. That's where the treadmill and I are besties. Just. Go.
