Like run through the house for like 30 minutes to equal a run. Yesterday I did a 40 minute run around the outside of my house. This vs treadmill running.I would take running around the house anyday .

I did it when I was like 14 and it was -10 degrees outside. Our team had been running inside so much (this was one of the "Blizzard" years for those of you midwest runners of a certain age) that it didn't seem like much of a stretch to a teenage mind. Our house wan't real big though, and I only did it once - my mom would have killed me if she knew.
Not my brightest idea ever. It was hot, and made the tiniest indoor track seem gigantic by comparison. Only real work was when I hit the stairs.
Yep...I live up on top of a hill, and there was a pretty solid layer of snow and ice on the ground, so there was no getting down it. Unfortunately I had a long run that day...never again!
Yep!
One day when I was a freshman and there was a t-storm so bad that school was let out at noon and the local gym were CLOSED.
Therefore I ran around the inside of the house for like 20 mins then 2 miles outside (lightning finally went away momentarily). There were 2 sets of stairs in my house so I just ran up one then came back down the other in a small loop.
The only reason I did this was because I took off a couple days ago and didn't want another off day because too many off days make you a bad runner!
I've done both. During the hot summer months..temps greater than 110 I would run on the dreadmill for repeats and run around the inside of the house as a recovery run. The house was about 4000sq ft so it was easy to do. Amazing, what you can do when you are creative..;)

I don't understand why more people don't do this.If you can't leave your house or something just run laps.If it's 10 seconds out 10 back.Eather in the backyard or inside beats the treadmill anytime.I have run for 33 years and have never run on a treadmill. It's the same as running in the park.You might look silly to people who live next to you but most people don't care.
Yes. During a Northeast blizzard when I was in high school. I was the type of runner who just didn't miss workouts, period, unless I was injured or seriously ill, so when a blizzard hit I ran around the inside of the house for an hour: A lap around the basement, sprint up the stairs to the first floor, lap around there, sprint up the steps to the second floor, one lap, then back to the bottom and repeat. Over and over.
Although that isn't something I'd want to do on a regular basis, it wasn't as bad as it might sound, and the time went by (relatively) quickly.

I don't know why more people don't do that. Dam the deadmill.
I run inside my 10,000 square foot house whenever it's cold out. I also have a trophy wife.
Yeah, I have an indoor track (400m) in my basement.

Lol..,,
35 minutes in my apartment sitting room - started running still, like hoping from 1 leg to another with an invisible skipping rope but with running arm motion, after 15 minutes going slightly backwards for 5 meters (wall to door basically) then slightly forward for 5 meters & repeat .
Also did full runs in my underground car park in same apartment block which offered a 30 meter stretch.
Now I live in a house, can do 2 or 3 reps of the street at times at faster pace just to clear the head.
Needless to say I don't train anymore and have no motivation to compete, just the odd run (DI Cross-country All-American 15 years ago), just have that little voice in my head that little exercice is better than nothing. Also still have my daily surf on letsrun for a reason I dont know.
"Have you ever run..."
Not "ran".
Runners, of all people, should know when to use ran versus run.

I love this site :-)
I'm 50 with family and a tiny house by US standards and yes, literally every time I run up the stairs, training/legs/hills is what's in my head. Also in my head is being 16, not 50 :)
friend once ran in place in his dorm room for an hour and called it 7 miles. Not because it was dangerous outside or anything, he had just lost his key card to get back in the building.

One of the funniest things I've read. Thank you.

. That's for you. A$$.
Yes for 100 days once when I had a broken back... walked laps inside for hours.
One winter it dropped 3 feet of snow all at once, and I couldn't even open the door of my condo's building to leave. So I did a 30 minute run, running back in forth in my tiny 3rd floor condo apartment. From living room to bedroom it was maybe 25-30 feet, and I jogged back and forth non-stop for 30 minutes.
Doing easy runs are easy, it's the repeat 200's at 26 second pace that get a little tricky.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
