I've recently started using a treadmill for some of my runs due to weather constraints. I've noticed that my pace and form feel slightly off compared to outdoor running. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any specific adjustments I should make to my treadmill workouts to better mimic outdoor conditions?
Yeah, I've noticed the difference too. One thing that helped me was to set the incline to at least 1% to simulate the uphill effort you'd get outdoors. Also, try to mix up your pace and interval workouts to keep it engaging and prevent boredom. It's not the same as outdoor running, but it can still be a great workout.
Treadmill running is a different beast, no doubt. I've found that it's all about adjusting your stride and foot strike to account for the lack of wind resistance and varied terrain. Try shortening your stride and landing midfoot instead of heel striking.
Yeah, I've noticed the difference too. Adjusting your stride and foot strike is key. I've also found that increasing the incline can help simulate outdoor conditions. But let's be real, it's still not the same as running outside. You can't replicate the uneven terrain and changing weather conditions on a treadmill.
