job biscuit (8 mile run in 1hr 15mins)!!!

eh eh!!!

8 miles in 1 hour 15 isnt very fast dude

at least you can run 8 miles mind so give yourself a pat on the back

[Otley]

It is if theres loads of hills and the temp is pretty hot

job biscuit (not doing these runs on a tread mill....spoon)!!!

eh eh!!!

a bit better then

obviously depending on the amount of hills and the heat, still nothing to really to shout about mind

[erics44]

and in fact you will usually run a distances quicker easier on the roads rather than the treadmill

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)!!!

Yeah thats a not a bad time for 8 miles, especially with hills.

A treadmill, harder than roadwork

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

That's not true at all. The treadmill actually propels you forward.

Was just looking for this thread and had to search my own posts!

What a piece of shit! All sorts of other threads go off topic but someone actually talks about boxing training and it gets moved! Probably by someone who has never trained let alone fought and maybe they got abit insecure

I've never been 'Runner' I was doing 3 miles in just under 22 mins before xmas, but doubt I could run 3 miles now, since I have put on 2.5 stone

I've always been told that if you don't have the incline on at least 1.5 that the treadmill essentially does a lot of work for you. Even at an incline I will run faster on the treadmill simply b/c it will keep me at a constant rate. My speed varies a lot when I'm doing road work. I can't run more than 4 miles on a treadmill though. I get bored out of my mind.

Yeah, same here, unless there is a tv screen in front with something interesting on and you can actually forget almost what your doing and before you know it youve done 20 or 30 minutes.

I thought the 'joining the army' thread had become somewhat off kilter, but this one takes the biscuit. I have no idea what anyone is rabbiting on about here. So, it's a thread about heavyweights that has turned into something about running? Very obtuse.

I agree with VanChild's that running machines are boring. I prefer to cycle rather than run, but must admit that I do neither these days. My walk is more like a run for a regular person anyway. Rather brisk. I can probably walk several miles in about 10 minutes.

[VictorCharlie]

Several miles in 10 minutes? What are you the flash?...hell I'd be impressed if you can walk 1 mile in 10 minutes.
