YES OR NO: treadmill running, compared to running outdoors, is lower impact, and thus safer for your joints. ðĶī
This can be an easy YES for most of us but there’s more to consider than just our usual perception about treadmill running. The treadmill is a great tool to use especially now in the winter when it’s freezing cold out but there are risks that we need to keep in mind. ðĪŊ
In this video, I will be spilling some actionable tips (and mistakes to avoid!) when it comes to running on the treadmill.
We’ll answer the most common questions about treadmill running:
ð§ Do you need to incline your treadmill?
ð§ Is your treadmill accurate?
ð§ How does the level of perceived exertion in outdoor running compare with treadmill running?
ð§ Is it fine to abruptly switch from running outdoor to indoor?
ð§ Do you need an expensive treadmill?
ð§ Is running on a treadmill better for your legs?
I want you to have the most successful winter of running yet, so I hope you’ll watch this video. Let me know in the comments if you have any additional tips in mind.
