Why can i run 3 miles on track or outside but i cant run on a tremil for 3 miles?

Question

most people cant run 3 miles on track or outside but can run on tredmil for 3 miles! why is this ?

and is it easier to run a tredmil! i can never do it

Answer 1

i can go on 8 mile runs outside, but when you stick me on a treadmill, ill go insane from boredom after 20 minutes.  When you are outside you have the scenery to view and other things to keep you interested.  on a treadmill all there is to look at is the room around you.  Keep it interesting...run outside.

Answer 2

With a tread mill you don't have the forward momentum that you do when you are outside.

Answer 3

Maybe you are setting your speed too high on the treadmill.

Answer 4

I know I get bored running on a treadmill because I have nothing to look at.

Answer 5

make sure its set to the pace you normally run at.

i had to run on a treadmill at our hotel and it was horrible! there was nothing to look at, the tv channels sucked, and it was so hot in the gym! my legs felt fine but i just couldnt go as long as i normally go because i got board easily.

dont worry, you'll get better, just keep working hard, and maybe run outside and on the treadmil one day to switch it up a little.
