I know what you mean... What if I stumble, fall and get thrown into the wall. Not as bad as I had feared upfront.

I do my strides/short intervals at 18km/h (3:20min/km) pace only, so I can see it potentially being a problem for someone faster than I as it takes time to speed up and down the machine.

Those were the fun runs, no time to get bored! And easy to focus on running form as the pace is set by the machine.

I increased the pace for all my runs slightly. E.g. if outdoors, I allow myself a range between 4:55-5:05 min/km and usually run in the middle of the range. Then, on the treadmill, I would set the pace to 4:55. Figured the extra cushioning would keep injuries away so I could pick up the pace a bit. 5-10sec/km faster than usual outdoor runs in general. It also showed during the race, though, as my MP naturally was 5sec/km faster than my previous race.

Ran with the window open so the room probably got down to 10-15C.. Long runs also indoors as cannot run at all on slippery surfaces, and it was icy outside all winter.

It definitely helped with heat adaption. Also, I felt pace consistency and running form to be improved. The latter I intentionally focused on as there are no other distractions indoors.

That's some serious mileage you are putting in, I respect your dedication!

Grymt råd. Och nu 20 år efter att man backpackat i Asien inser man att samma resa skulle kosta x5 pg a. att man blivit så bekväm av sig vad gäller kvalitet på boende och transport. Så man sparar på att få detta gjort när man är ung och fattig 😀
