It bores me to tears. <BR/><BR/>But, I was thinking about it on my long run today. I always have this polar opinion of treadmill vs. road running. But, there are definitely benefits of both. For instance, treadmill running is good for speed work and it doesn't depend on the weather. For me though, treadmill running just becomes a "watch the clock" session. I have a lot of trouble zoning out like I do on road runs. That's my major beef with the treadmill.Eric Gervasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987479725567129785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835658214417347634.post-86076955056439872342007-12-14T09:42:00.000-05:002007-12-14T09:42:00.000-05:00I know most folks hate the treadmill, but I think ...I know most folks hate the treadmill, but I think it's a great opportunity to do speed work and hills...I don't have enough long hills in my area so I can force myself to run them on the treadmill.RunToTheFinishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995696358152941044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835658214417347634.post-28507956911611686892007-12-14T07:51:00.000-05:002007-12-14T07:51:00.000-05:00Hmmm...

Just thinking about it though.

Lifting definitely helps IMHO.ulachopihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084285469773501766noreply@blogger.com
