If you’re like emmiemarieB, you’ll run outside in almost any treacherous condition to avoid running on the treadmill. But when you have no other option, here's how to have an efficient workout on the dreadmill...I mean, TREADmill.
is sometimes the only option. Maybe the only time you can get a run in is in the early morning hours when streets aren’t well-lit or there aren’t many other runners out there, or the snowy and icy conditions are making training outdoors unsafe. Sometimes, we all just have to suck it up and climb on that treadmill if we want to fit in a training run.
“That goes to show you that it can be done,” Mayer says. But it’s best to only do some of your training on the treadmill, instead of relying on it completely. “I recommend doing as many easy and long runs outdoors as possible to acclimate to various conditions, and to be able to work on your footing. In our training groups at Life Time Run, we often take the faster sessions indoors when training for the Boston Marathon to reach the needed paces with safe footing.”1.
If you’re training for a trail race, Mayer also emphasizes the importance of incorporating other methods of agility training, such as ladder drills and hops, to get ready for uneven, stability-challenging trail conditions.While it can be tempting to resort to training on the treadmill whenever weather conditions are less than ideal, doing so isn’t going to prepare you for a less-than-ideal race day. And unfortunately, you can never know what the weather will be until that day.
If you live somewhere where the temperatures drop as much as they do in Minnesota winters , Mayer recommends splitting long runs—do the first half outside and the second half inside on the treadmill. That way, you’re not doing a full 15 miles on the treadmill. The change of scenery can definitely help.
