Here is an article
talking about how running on a treadmill can affect your workouts outside. They mention that
using the treadmill at a 3% incline will help
you transition from inside to outside running.
Speaking from my own treadmill experience,
I ran five to six miles a day at 0% incline. During this time, I
was getting faster and my endurance was improving. However, one
day my treadmill broke and I decided to try
going outside. I went for a three mile
long run during which I could not go as fast as
I was used to. Upon
returning to the treadmill I changed the incline to 1%, which greatly improved my running outside. This came in handy as my treadmill
broke again and again and I found myself running outside for an entire month.
Do you use an incline on your treadmill? Do you find it difficult or easy to go from
running inside to outside?
