Problem with a treadmill is that it's highly inaccurate. I fell like I wasted my time

How is it inaccurate?

In how much calories you burnt? In the distance you've ran? In the amount of time you've ran?

I mean in the end of the day a run is a run is a run. Intensity and length are completely dependent on you. I can jog as much as I can do HIIT in a treadmill.

Only thing correct is the time spent :lol:


I'm not saying treadmills are bad btw.

But would the calories burnt really matter? Do you measure that when you run outside?

Does it matter the distance you've ran unless you are measuring it your training for an upcoming race and trying to improve time, most of it can be close enough. Even a run outside tracked by your phone isn't exactly pinpoint accurate either. Even the calories burnt calculation is a guesstimate in most devices.

I've actually used the Nike+ foot pedometer and on about 4-5 different treadmills and most are within
 
Treadmills are fine just plus one on the incline if you are trying to simulate outdoor flat running. Dont worry about gear as long as its dryfit and your warm. I suggest chafing cream on areas where you blister though or have alot of rubbing. I go to walmart and use their tights under my running shorts for winter runs. Shoes are very important because we all run different. Go to a running store and get annalized professionally and whatever they recomend cop outside or online. Its usually cheaper but follow the exact size and type. Good Luck.

^^ Man not to mention running on a treadmill is hella repetitive. You're legit running in place. No better feel than getting to see the sights of wherever you're running. I love running in cities. The character and liveliness of the cities shines through as you run. A few weeks ago I ran through Philly when I was on a work trip, ran past the liberty bell and thought it was the dopest thing. I try to travel light but I gotta take my gear now if I'm gone for more than 2 days.

I completely agree. Running 3mi on a dreadmill was a struggle for me. I love running in the city (minus the stop lights). However, as of late, running on the track is my preference. I feel I can control my pace more efficiently, and I feel I'm getting faster.

You should try the Nike Lunar Racer. I ran the Chicago Marathon and Air Force Marathon wearing the Lunar Racer……Brand New out of the box (I wouldn't recommend wearing new shoes). 

I love everything about the Lunar Racer. Overall : Amazing running sneaker.

love my lunar racers.

pairs can be bought for around $60 on finishline right now

wish i could find another pair of black/white for a good price
 
Since I got out of the Army 2 months ago I haven't really ran that much. I'm going to start up slowly tomorrow morning with a quick little 2.5m run.

I'm on my 4th pair of Nike Lunarglides at the moment and I couldn't be happier with this shoe. I've had lunarglides 1-4 and I should be close to getting a new pair pretty soon.


I get this tingling all over my legs, especially my thighs, when I start running after not doing it for awhile. Anybody else get it?

The company I work for is hosting an Ultramarathon - 3 days covering roughly 85 miles. Is this considered an Ultramarathon?

The most I've ever ran in one setting is about 10 miles (last month) and I have 2 months to prepare for this. The terrain isn't all paved roads and we're required to carry all our own gear (clothes/sleeping bag/food). Probably camping out in tents that are provided during the two nights.

1. Is this doable folks??

2. Will I need to invest in trail running shoes?

Anyone have any experience in doing one of these? Thanks in advance.
 
If you've never ran a half marathon, regular marathon, it's probably not a good idea to run an ultra.

One of my coworkers ran a marathon a month ago. He's a fast runner; like right below 6 minute miles. He however didn't train for the marathon. He said he hit a wall at mile 18. He ended up running like 4 hours plus. I figured with his speed, he'd be able to run 3 and change. But his body wasn't ready.

The standard marathon is 42K or 26.2mi. An ultra is any distance exceeding 50K or 31mi. Wow that is some serious mileage in the span of three days! The most I've run in one go ~31mi.

Dude would kill it in a 5K or a 10K, but 26.2 is a different ball game. Though speed is a factor, pacing and endurance are more pertinent. My first ever race was actually a full marathon (Crazy I know! hahah). Though I had no idea what I was doing, I finished at 3:30. Outside the race (at that time) I'd estimate my average pace was barely under 8 min/mile.

Bros,

How fast could I improve my cardio if I do 50m sprints, followed by a jogging recovery time, and repeat the process over and over?
 
Any NT'ers pick up any new shoes or running gear during Black Friday ?

I picked a new pair of Altra Instinct 2.0's. They were cheap and under $80 bucks at Roadrunner sports.Their comfy as hell and have zero drop tech in them.Haven't been able to break them and take them for a test run though because of this damn cold I've been fighting.

My other pick up was a Suunto Ambit 2 Saphhire watch that's multi sport, has a hear rate monitor, GPS and is built with Sapphire Glass for protection and durability.The watch normally goes for $450 to $500 but I got it for $200 off amazon. The price drop was because the newier Suunto Ambit 3 is out already.

I watched a bunch of reviews on both of the watches and there really wasn't that many differences for me justify dropping $450 on a ambit 3.
