Do you use the incline when you're running to make it more like running outside? I found a chart somewhere on the interwebs (http://anonrunnerrunning.blogspot.com/2009/01/treadmill-pace-calculator.html) that broke down what speed/incline you need to use to simulate a particular pace on the road. I've been doing it the past month or so and it seems to be working well.Goddess Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622554664262823997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-3301390911193124172010-12-13T16:09:16.822-05:002010-12-13T16:09:16.822-05:00I love my treadmill and using the following progra...I love my treadmill and using the following programs makes it a whole lot of fun.<br /><br />http://www.itrain.com/program/iTREAD/<br /><br />http://www.cardiocoach.com/<br /><br />http://www.motiontraxx.com/<br /><br />http://www.djsteveboy.com/mixes.htmlElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01331628695937000884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-15157845852729898192010-12-13T13:53:08.526-05:002010-12-13T13:53:08.526-05:00That is so exciting!!

Sounds like a great goal. <br /><br />I'm the same on the treadmill... it takes at least a mile or two for me to feel comfortable on that thing and I run MUCH slower overall. My 5K pace on the treadmill on Friday was slower than my 27K outside today on some crazy hills in a snow storm.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-27614067593332178482010-12-12T20:19:59.594-05:002010-12-12T20:19:59.594-05:00ROC -- Hope that's what happens for me, too!

No problem getting speed work done in the winter (vs summer), and cooler temps on race day. Both were fast and flat courses, and I was faster for my first in April!RunningOnCoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00715671909290199683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-78765100275946232312010-12-12T20:00:36.499-05:002010-12-12T20:00:36.499-05:00Good on you - I look forward to watch you (even if...Good on you - I look forward to watch you (even if you run on the mill)Tim Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172993341866649612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-72128248225378653132010-12-12T19:56:31.797-05:002010-12-12T19:56:31.797-05:00Well, I hope to heck you can do it because I'm...Well, I hope to heck you can do it because I'm planning on running my first half in May at exactly 9 months PP.
