I've read that the flying Finns would spend would do a lot of xc skiing in the winter.

Everytime someone is making a thread about treadmills in here, theres always the majority who claims they aren't good for training.
Interesting. I am on LRC about 50-100 times per day and I run 20% of my weekly mileage on the treadmill (so I read most treadmill threads) and have rarely seen anyone claim this.
Do you just ignore letsrun during the winter months? Threads about treadmills are everywhere, and about half the people say treadmills are for the weak etc etc.
You are not allowed to use altitude tents in Norway
I wonder if they're doing similar training to marius bakken, where they have 4-5 LT sessions on the treadmill using the portable lactate Pro to measure the effort etc.
And three refrigerators.

I've seen it plenty of times troughout the years. Often use the Ingebrigtsens or Bakken as an example of the treadmills usefulness. In the end of the threads it usually balances out though.

He is the future. His base was only $35k.
Source? There was nothing on European champs medals in that contract as far as I've heard

How scientific are they? Are they sleeping in altitude tents? I notice the dad was giving Henrik either a prolotherapy or traumeel injection in Rio for his hamstring.
Very scientific if in regards to testing lactate on almost every workout. Its pretty usual in Norway.
Altitude tents aren't allowed in Norway, I think we're the only nation whos banned them.
They are at altitude camps about four times a year though.
Henrik had to operate his hamstring and haven't been able to do track workouts for a long long time. Had to skip them when his brothers were doing them most of this year. Can't do speed training either

Correct. Probably using either the Pro 2 or the Scout+. Personally only experienced the Pro, but they're pretty similar.
Care to explain what their training runs are like? Please and thanks =)
So if treadmill miles do count why are they easier than regular workouts? Do I just suck at pacing or do I need to increase speed like .5 mph or something?

They're not for running, the brothers are testing if various types of planes will take off.
POTY
They count but less than normal miles.
1 treadmill mile = .65 of a road mile.
Just like trail miles
1 trail mile = 2 road miles

- Well-stocked favorite fruits and vegetables from the excellent local grocery store
- A gallon of fresh milk (fat-free of course!)
- An assortment of fine pastries prepared by their Auntie, Hilda. All three brothers love the apple ones (don't we all?! lol)
- and ah, several blood bags for reinfusion

So a treadmill mile is a kilometre. Sounds legit.

Makes me feel better when I went trail running a few weeks ago for the first time ever and took me two hours to run ten miles.

The fact that they have treadmills at home doesn't mean they use it for real running.
Maybe they're sponsored, maybe they just bought them for fun.
And there's no running on a treadmill, by "running" on a treadmillyou're just being dragged along the belt.

There are various reasons why it may be easier or harder. Temperature, wind resistance, surface, variation, flat/hills. Another possibility is the treadmill is incorrectly calibrated, so the distance/speed is not as recorded.
I'd say the key is to compare treadmill runs against treadmill runs.

Lots of treadmills are calibrated poorly. Also many users don't put any incline on the belt which means you are running without wind resistance.
