run for 40 mins of the treadmill then 40 mins on the roads see the difference

Obviously u don't run cause its the other way round....its harder on road than it is on a tread mill

Job Biscuit (Silly boy)!!!


eh eh!!
i do dude, id do 8 miles in just over 50 mins on the road

and 6 in less than 40

yet in 40 minutes on the treadmill i run about 9 K which is less than 6 miles.

you see on a treadmill youre not really running you are just bouncing from one foot to the other and not pushing yourself forward, therefore you dont really control your own speed and its more knackering bouncing quicker than pushing forward more

perhaps if you are only running 8 miles in well over an hour you would be quicker on a treadmill
