I have been running on a treadmill for a long time and love it and feel great. The other day I ran in a park and today my legs are very sore like I have never run before in my life. Do I need to run outside more?

Does running on a treadmill using the decline feature help anything?

Marie asked:

I am planning to buy an treadmill and they have two with a decline feature - one with 3% and one with 6%. I'm wondering if the extra decline is worth the extra money (aside from a more powerful motor and more interactive map features). I'm not really a treadmill-runner but I suppose that will change and my husband plans to use it.

I can run a 6:45 minute mile on the treadmill but when running on a track it takes me about 9 minutes. I am not sure the reason and I am wondering if anyone else can tell me why I can run so much faster on a treadmill.

aquarias asked:

Everytime, I start running on the treadmill after not running for awhile, I get this horrible stinging in my legs that itches and burns. Today, I actually had to get off the treadmill. I am assuming it is a circulation issue. Does anyone ever experience this? I asked my doc about it and he said not to worry.

What is a good treadmill workout for beginners?

theman400 asked:

I just got a treadmill and I am a beginning runner. I want to gain muscle and lose fat off my mid section, arms, breasts, and everywhere. I was wondering what is a good treadmill workout. I've always heard that running intervals like 2 minutes fast pace than 2 minutes slow pace and so on is a good way to workout. But I would think that running a good 25-30 minutes fast pace is also a good workout. Which way is more efficient and what is an overall good workout plan?

his_j_man asked:

I've been trying to find a FAST treadmill, and the ones I've been searching through get very expensive but seem to top out at 12mph. They come with all kinds of gadgets and programs that I don't care for. I just need something faster, doesn't any company make a treadmill for sprinting? I'm hoping for one that can push around 20mph. Do they even exist? This is 2007 for Pete's sake.
