Summer running had a blast....said no one ever. There is great benefit to staying acclimated to the heat but not full out training in it when people have big marathon plans for the fall. this is when your focused training runs move to the treadmill. but it seem some refuse to run on a treadmill b/c its so boring and thendon't getting the training done outside b/c its too hot, and race goals fall short.
Point being prioritize what's important now so its fun and you get the results you were aiming for later.

Exactly prime example. you talk about wanting to get faster and get 10k time below 7min/mile pace but won't take advantage of a great tool when its too hot to get the real training done. to each is their own.

Definitely. I incorporate the treadmill quite often, it’s the only way to control my effort in this heat, really

What app are yall using to track distance and log runs. Just a simple all for that? I’m amazed that capability isn’t built into Apple Maps

I get my runs in early in the AM. Very rarely put any miles in on the treadmill. Not ashamed to say that I hate it and if the key to me getting faster is treadmill mileage, then I’ll just be slow. Heat, rain, snow, hasn’t kept me from running outside.

Strava + a Garmin Forerunner

Strava for me

Yea it’s a catch 22. I refuse to run on tread for longer than I need to but thankfully I have some indoor track options around me to utilize.

I assume I'm in the minority, but I don't mind the treadmill at all.
I especially like it for intervals and workout type runs.

I know a few people that don’t mind it. I’m just too squirrelly for it. I get bored if scenery isn’t changing.

Was inspired by this post & hit the treadmill for a little tempo run at lunch. So much better than getting shite rocked outside

Tried this out. Every time I open the app it tries to make me do some social media following people nonsense and everytime you log a run it tries to get you to post it and tag people and there’s special badges for social causes. Annoying.
Is there just a straightforward app to track runs without a social media aspect or other nonsense?

you can turn all that off
Runkeeper is better than strava if you are looking for training programs.
Strava is better if you are more into data or travel a lot. They have suggested routes that are helpful

I just want to track my mileage/pace on my runs. I’ll try and tinker with the settings and turn that stuff off.

productive tempo run on a treadmill when its 100 degrees outside... what a waste! Oh being able to repeat it tomorrow b/c you didn't overheat yourself is the real benefit. Work hard but work smart.
Posted on 6/20/23 at 7:25 pm to ks_nola
No one here said a treadmill workout was a waste (that I remember anyway)
Posted on 6/21/23 at 10:38 am to Pedro
Yes bad choice of word.. replace waste with Horror or bless your heart.
Just thought people would take advantage of what's available to help reach their goals when running on the sun's surface isn't productive day to day.

I don't enjoy running enough to do treadmill, if I'm in a spot where I can stop any time, I'm tempted to. Same with laps of any kind. So I run some distance away so that I have to run back. I love being done with a run, not during. I wish I was better at it like many of you.
Posted on 6/21/23 at 9:18 pm to calcotron
I feel that. I love running but part of what I love about it is getting out and seeing things. If I’m staring at a treadmill screen and staying stationary I’m not getting that. Now that being said I also like being able to be competitive so if my training/the weather dictates I suck it up and hop on a tread I’ll hop on a tread but it’s always my last resort.
