Treadmill Running

[silver]

Hmmm, don't know if any of this anwers your questions:

I run on a treadmill when the weather is cold and or nasty (below 40 degrees is my personal preference for a shorter training run) or if it's at night.

I think that running on a treadmill is easier and is softer than roads.

After I recovered from a heel bone stress fracture, The orthopedic doctor instructed me to run on the treadmill first because it would be a more gentle transistion. The following year, I had spent the entire winter running on the treadmill and then had some really nice weather and run the entire week outside. I ended up with another foot bone fracture from the drastic transistion (could have been other mitigating fractures).

any help?

however, I would prefer to be on the roads....I would rather pull my eyelashes out than do a 6 mile + ride on the treadmill. I wouldn't pass up good weather outside to run inside unless it was another situation like I was in before of going form all miles inside to all miles outside.
