Difference between treadmill and roadwork?

sure thats true but you can change incline as much as you want on a treadmill too.

yeah but it could be a lot more encouraging if say you know you were going 8 mph then steadily move up a tenth of a mph a week or so, if you were outside itd be harder to see such a small gain and you might get discouraged.

yeah but this way you could see your intensity go up over time and youd be able to chart your progress, you can run with as much intensity on a treadmill as outside, maybe even more on a treadmill because theres less distractions.

nah how would it make the job easier? youd still be working just as hard as if you were outside. and its just as simple to change the pace on a treadmill then on the road, all you gotta do is push a button. but with running your usually going a constant pace anyway arent you? unless your doing sprint intervals or something?

yes but then youd have to measure it out and compare it to the key on the bottom of the map, and who would really want to do that when you can just look on the console of a treadmill and it tells your exactly how far you ran to a hundredth of a mile?

im not saying a treadmill is better than roadwork but theres no doubt you can get the same results more conveniently.

 

Yeah you can say that again. and yup just started competing:bbb . where are you from?

 

Next major city to the east... just don't want to put it out there too much on here. How long you been at it for; are you going to Great Falls on the 4th/5th?

 

ahh.. and just a few months competitively but ive loved boxing since i was like 10. and yup itll be my first bout. theres another one in butte the week after that i believe. you going to them?

 

I'll be in Great Falls for sure; I didn't know Butte was holding one though. I know State should be coming up soon though, I assume in H-Town or something though. How old are you, what weight are you at?

 

I see. and yup i guess theyre just putting it on as a last moment thing. and probably, i doubt ill be going to that tho. and im 15 and at 123 at the moment.

 

Cool man, look forward to seeing you there. I saw some of the younger guys from Butte box in Helena, look pretty good. :thumbsup

 

yup hopefully ill see ya. and ha yeah they all did pretty good, but they got rushed into it cuz theyd only been training for 2 weeks. i couldnt make it to that cuz it was the last weekend of hunting so i skipped it. what weight you fighting at?

 

165, hoping to have two matches in Not so Great Falls. But we'll see. When you get up to 75 posts I'll PM you.

 

Running outside is much harder because the impact on your feet will fatigue you faster coz of the hard surface.While the treadmill you can pretty much run longer.

 

alrighty sounds good. how many bouts have you had? and good luck!

 

well theres always being a bisexual, or one of the wanna be homos who say they're confused about they're needs :think

 

Thanks man, I should be boxing a kid from Missoula and maybe one from Canada if he comes, I've gained weight since that time so it might not be doable. But like I said, I'll PM you when you hit 75 posts so I can tell you off the general forum.

 

it also puts lots of pressure to your joints which you wil be feeling later on in life....

 

Yeah, that really didn't make any sense. More wear and tear on your joints doesn't automatically = better work out.
