Running Preference

KillJoy · 03-04-2008, 01:27 AM

Do you prefer to do your running inside on a treadmill, or outside?

I like to do most of my running outside. Although if it is too cold (normally 32 degrees or below), I will settle for a treadmill. I like to run outside more because it feels like I am actually getting something done.

I liked inside more, the treadmill always seemed easier on my tore up feet, knees and spine. It's easier to get lost in the morning news too, running outside was always too hot/cold/windy/wet/humid/dark/. But I was military so that O'dark 30 PT always sucked.

...tread mills are easier on the ol' bod. Running outside is far more enjoyable and much easier to keep going because, as you say, it seems like you're getting somewhere. It's a trade off. There's also no dogs or cars in the gym.

Love running outside, but no more running. Knee is in bad shape. Might need some new bearings put in or something. Maybe a grease fitting to keep it lubed up.

I like to run on the treadmill so that I can adjust the incline. I am a horrible runner (ugly stride), so when I am outside, I just walk fast.
