Running
on a Treadmill Treadmills
are great training devices. Especially during the rainy, winter months when it's
easy to use the cold weather as an excuse not to run. Treadmills
have many advantages. The greatest advantage is that they are used indoors in
a controlled environment. The treadmill runner does not have to be concerned with
weather, traffic lights, or safety concerns. Treadmills allow you to jog, run,
sprint, climb hills, and resistance train by easily and accurately varying grade
and speed. Treadmills also absorb shock better than asphalt and are less likely
to cause impact injuries.
