What is everybodys tradmill pr. It was snowing hard today and i just decided to do a tempo like run on the treadmill and I ran 5k in 16:25 without too much effort, except the first mile was hard getting into it. That run was only a couple seconds off my road pr.
heres my other prs on the tread
1mile 5:00
5k 16:25
5miles 29:54
10k 36:00
7 miles 43:44
8miles 47:30
10miles 63:00
Treadmill pr's:
mile: 5min (anyone get their's to go quicker?)
5k: 15:56
10k: 32:58
10mile: 55:xx
haven't had the urge to go further than 10m, but on my 20th bday next month I may attempt a marathon, if the money's right;)
peace
Mike wardian of alexandria ran a marathon on a treadmill. Broke the world record. see runpacers.com maybe for the link
The local Y just got 5 or 6 of these Precor treads, I love running outside much more (even in the snow), but if you have to run inside these things are the way to go. 16 MPH, decline, and they are quite and smooth, plus they have this little shelf for my iPod. If they only have a sweat remover. Check this thing out http://www.precor.com/cpr_tre_966.php
Most treadmills won't go faster than 10-12mph. If you can go faster try increasing the incline.
4m 19:29
5m 24:19
Our new Y has the techno treadmills. One goes to 4 minute mile, the others go 4:21/mile. Great for interval sessions.
28:45 5 mile
5k 16:47 (35 seconds faster than my road PR)
4 miles 22:50
Set at 1- 2 percent the whole time. PRoves once and for all treadmill running is easier since I can't truly run quite that fast.

It proves your treadmill wasn't calibrated correctly.
Run 12 miles on a properly calibrated treadmill in a 75 degree room with no fan on you and tell me how it compares with outside running.
You prove nothing!
I've been able to run close to prs consistently on treadmills(different) without too much trouble.
