Treadmill Fear

I've never been one for the treadmill. I always thought that if you were going to run - you might as well do it out in the open air.

Of course maybe I secretly harbour a fear of falling off. Just like this girl...

  • I read that your not supposed to get on a treadmill that's already on.

  • Well I have been running on the treadmill at the gym recently because it's in the mid 90's right now outside but when the weater is nicer I try to run outside whenever I can.

    Why would someone going running into the room like that? Were they in some kind of fitness race? Why would the treadmill still be on? I almost wonder if that video was planned.

  • Treadmills are pretty much awful for any kind of sustained longer run and don't approximate road running well at all.

    However, for quick interval workouts, they're actually not bad.

  • That's a funny video. I have had some times when I am on mine and I start to fall behind and nearly fall off. I know that runners usually buy those treadmills that are longer than mine is. I love my treadmill, but wish I had gotten one of the long ones.
