My chiro claims that treadmill running uses different muscles and weakens the ones I need for the road through under-use. If I did a lot of treadmill running, he'll ask if I've been taking a break. <br /><br />Curious! Definitely a great machine in a pinch though.

My left knee has been bugging me off/on for almost 3 years now and yesterday she officially diagnosed patella femoral syndrome (a fancy name for runners knee). She said if I'm going to insist on running 16 half's this year I should be doing at least my shorter runs on the treadmill. Ughh after all the posts I've read about the "dread mill" I'm really dreading it...

WOW! I have a love hate relationship with my treadmill:) Love it because on deep snow days I can get a run in, hate because its boring, and I find (for me) it doesn't do much to keep my lungs in shape for outdoor racing. Once forced due to the weather had a long run on a treadmill of 18 miles, I didn't enjoy it much, which is why I am so impressed with you! If on the treadmill, I catch up on TV shows or pop in a great movie, I'll mess with the inclines and speeds as well to mix it up.Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702988741762017233.post-52931888090623882492013-02-08T10:44:22.683-06:002013-02-08T10:44:22.683-06:00In order to get through a treadmill run, I have to...In order to get through a treadmill run, I have to change the speed or incline and vary my workout. Otherwise I have a hard time mentally. The treadmill can be fun if you switch things up a bit. Otherwise it can be serious torture. I don't know how you lasted 20 miles on one. You are hard core!Rachelle Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09617310026581589214noreply@blogger.com
