I have run a half marathon, two full marathons, and even an extreme trail ultramarathon. But what separates me from most other marathon runners, is that except for a rare run outside, all my training has been on a treadmill. Most other runners I know hate the treadmill, and most times refer to it as the dreadmill. But the treadmill has numerous vantages over running outside. Of course, there are likewise galore less favorable advantages as well.

One of the greatest vantages of a treadmill is the capacity to run day or night irrespective of the weather. Where I live, it gets barbarically cold in the winter, and uncomfortably hot and humid in the summer. But with a treadmill, I am competent to train year round.

Another vantage with a treadmill is the capacity to run at a specific pace. Most marathon schedules call for running at respective paces on respective days. Outside it is near totally unlikely to recognise what pace you are running while you are running. You may run on a track, and look at your watch as you pass sure markings to learn what pace you have already run. And depending on the terrain, it may difficult, if not out of the question to maintain a consistant pace. But if my running schedule says run 10 miles at a 10:00 pace, I may just set the treadmill to 6mph, and run 10 miles at precisely a 10:00 minute per mile pace.

The biggest disfavor of running on a treadmill is the monotony. Most humans get bored running on a treadmill for hours. I have a TV set up in front of mine, and will watch movies, or whatsoever is on TV.

Another disfavor of long distance running on a treadmill is the potential for distractions. It is too easy to go take a bathroom break, get lunch, or check email. This is one of my biggest problems. I will take breaks for the duration of long runs to take care of the distractions. As long as I run all the miles, I have in general been okay in the end. But with willpower, this problem may be overcome.

Another minor inconvenience of training on a treadmill is that you are not cooled by the passing air as your run. I solved this by placing a little fan on the floor in front of the treadmill that blows air onto me to aid keep me cool.

While training on the treadmill for my primary road race, a half marathon, I was nervous in regards to whether the road would be significantly harder than running on the treadmill. I did a couple training runs out on the road to see how it would feel. I was astonished to observe little divergence in the impact, and found that I in truth ran quicker on the road than I was expecting to.

I was likewise concerned when it comes to the lack of hills on a treadmill. In my earlier treadmill training, I would set the incline to 3 or 4. I had read someplace that this would simulate the road better. But I was likewise not competent to run as fast. So at times I would set the incline to the lowest setting, and would do more quickly runs. As time went on, I just left the incline on the lowest setting, and run faster. I have not found this to limit my running. Most marathons are comparatively flat anyway, with only a few little hills.

I was likewise worried that since I was not genuinely propelling my body forward like I would be when genuinely running on the road, that running on a treadmill was actually posing no difficulty than running outside. This has turned out not to be an issue. When I have run outside in races, I have actually tended to run more quickly and more comfortable than I have on the treadmill.
