  • Speaking about threadmills -
    could somebody please give me a quick summary on threadmill running vs. regular (asphalt / park) running?

    Do you run the same way, with the same shoes etc.
    Is it easier or actually more strenuous / wearing on the joints?
    Any useful tips for a first-time threadmill runner?

    Never been to the gym before really, but planning to check out some new-years-resolution-special-discount-deal at the local spot and actually do some strenght work this winter and might jump on the threadmill while I'm there..
    Basically I love running outside in the park even in winter, but really am kind of afraid of injuring myself when it gets icy..

    Thanks!

  • My top tip - get a tablet and watch TV while running. The furthest I've run on a treadmill is 25k and the time goes by fairly quickly if you've got something good to watch. Treadmills are also good if you have any gastro issues and want to make sure you always near a toilet. As well as obviously useful in extreme weather.
