Treadmill 1% incline

1 mile warm up 8:00 This mile was the toughest mile of the whole run

6 miles at marathon pace 6:48 All 6 felt pretty easy

1 mile cool down 8:00

Over the last couple months I've been doing most my shorter tempo run on the treadmill and longer tempo runs outside. I've decided that it is takes a lot more effort to run on the TM at 1% incline than it is to run outside on fairly flat ground. Maybe it is that it is usually about 20 degrees warmer inside. I don't know, but all my longer tempo runs outside have felt way easier than my inside TM efforts. Good thing the marathon is outside.

I agree I think the treadmill miles at 1% are harder... I thought it was because it was more boring but more and more I think the 1% is a little tougher than a flat road. (but then what do I know)

I agree the treadmill at 1% is harder than running outside. The treadmill is perfectly flat..I like the variation in the terrain outside to work more of the various stabilizing leg muscles. Kind of like lifting free weights versus the machines with the plates. Nice run, Rhett.
