Some people don't have a treadmill or don't like running on them. Any of you in Buffalo or places like that ran in the hallways of your apartment, for example, or somewhere else because it was just to bad outside? I have run in bad snow myself, but l am talking many feet of snow and ice all over. It's probably a little slower in most cases inside but if you're just running an easy run you are probably still getting in the same effort.
I’ve done this and would choose a blizzard or hour drive to club gym. Ppl also kind of think ur an idiot

People think you're and idiot running in snow, heat, or rain. Whatever you got to do to get the run in. It's their problem if they think you're an idiot. You got your run in they didn't.
I once did parking lot loops on a college visit because my hotel didn’t have a treadmill and I wasn’t risking running at night with my phone in hand (Hyde park- south side of Chicago). Boring but I ran a PR next meet
What kind of person would hate the treadmill but would be okay with running apartment halls? That seems worse.
Go to a large parking garage.

This. I've also gotten some good work on the floor that was between two levels of subway platforms in the NYC subway. Boring AF but you do what ya gotta.

Some people physically can't run on a treadmill for various reasons. Yes this is true.
I've seen many runners on plowed streets, but my area didn't get the worst of it

I guess this could go for any dangerous weather. Like a Hurricane or something like that. During Covid a Chinese man ran a marathon in his very small apartment in China.

Nobody runs inside an apartment. That’s just silly. If you can’t run outside and don’t have a treadmill, you just go to gym that has one.
When I was in my 20s, I lived on the 5th floor of an apartment building. I'd sometimes walk up and down the steps as a warmup before going to the apartment gym.
Many years ago, when we had much worse winters (weeks of snow and snowed in) I had a friend who lived in a tower block and he was a good standard runner on the verge of running internationally. When we had snow he used to train on the stairs inside the tower block, running from the ground floor to the very top. He ended up running for GB the next summer.
When I was in college we had a big snow/ice storm and sub-zero temps that made running outside to risky. We had a Saturday working with indoor nattys approaching, so our coach had us run in the hallways, gym, and bleachers of a local high school. I think it was some kid of fartlek to best replicate the intended workout. It sucked.
