Difference between treadmill and roadwork?

Treadmills are actualy bad for your knees since that machine sets the pace and you have to keep up with it, its similar to running down hill. Thats why I prefer bikes to treadmills.

 

treadmills are alot healthier for your knees than running outside, the pressure put on your knees running outside is very detrimental, treadmills have a suspension built in so absorb the shock rather than your knees, this being said running on a beach is quite possibly the best place to run, i love the scenery changes whe running i can get bored on the treadmill.

 

actually treadmills put most the stress in your lower calves not your knees so overall its much better for your body to either run on sand, flat grassy areas, or just the treadmill.

of course tho its better to have both so you wont put too much stress on one part of body

 

I find that with tredmills as welll as elipitical mechienes (yes i use them from time to time) I can controll my work out. I can set what ever pace I want and most you can simulate hills. When I run out side I find it to be more medatative. One diffent advantage for treadmills is that you don't have to deal ith trafic.

 

true road work is a kinda work out and warm up and to keep your wieght low.

but treadmill is for stamina and endurance.
i believe that joe calzaghe is a huge fan of both

 

eh idk :think i think both roadwork and treadmill would do both of that equally, i mean your doing the same thing on both (running) why would it make a difference if you were outside or on a tread?

 

Because when you are outside your body naturally slows down when it's tired. When you are on a treadmill you can control the pace and keep your self motivated.

 

treadmills suck, you go at a controlled pace.

 

I like treadmills for the same reason that you hate them. We're all different and differnt methods will work better for different people.

 

It depends on the person. I prefer the treadmill because I always go at the same pace and can control the pace I'm going at.
Outside if I'm feeling tired I slow down but on the treadmill I say "**** it, I'll finish" at the same pace, I can really push myself.
