Is anyone here who can explain me a difference between running on a treadmill and running outside? Few years ago I was running 5km each morning...then because of the job I had to quit and I didn’t have time till recently. The problem is now I can’t breathe properly when I am outside, so my boyfriend suggested treadmill. I know that there is some difference but I don’t know what they are.
Yes, there is a definite difference between Running on a treadmill and running outside with pros and cons to each. The main benefit of running on the treadmill is that you don’t have to contend with the hazards of weather like wind and rain and the surface of a treadmill is cushioned for impact, which helps prevent the joint and muscle strains that are associated with running on concrete. Another factor is the motivational benefits of treadmills is that you can go up and down hills and move at different speeds and all you have to do is set the course and follow it. A treadmill can offer you the variety that running outside cannot.
