The problem with most of you is not your training methods. It's your skin. It is too thin.
Turn OFF the internet
STOP feeding the trolls.
TRAIN the way that best fits your running style and ability.
TELL everyone who criticises your plan to go to hell.
Just do it.
Because running on treadmill is so NOP. Can you imagine a blue collar runner like Ben "I'm Holier than My Wife" True ever runs on treadmill? No. Only wuss like Mo and Rupp do that.

I'm raining more sweat during a 20 mile treadmill run than the sky could ever pour on me outside.
I sweat plenty at 10 below. Just dress warmly. Treadmill is exercise, but it's not the same as running outside. Mentally it's hard to get out there in 10 below, in the rain, in 95, or at 5 am to avoid the heat, and that mentality translates into something useful, just as the mentality of always being comfy indoors on the treadmill with the tv and headset translates into something negative.
Please show a scientific study that shows running on a treadmill "translates into something negative."

Some people here are so comically stupid it's actually entertaining!
Not sure if anybody thinks that.
It's only that treadmill running is boring and not the real running experience.
Do it, if you have too.
I hate treadmills. Main reason, my lower back hurts whenever I use them.
I use the treadmill for tempo runs in the winter because it's impossible to run fast on the snowy roads in the winter. I still do volume outside because it's more fun. The longest I've ever gone on a TM was 18km and it felt like it took forever.

It seems that the Letrunner thinks that running on a treadmill makes him less of a man. ThE Letsrunner would prefer running quality sessions in a freezing cold windy day outside running weak times unable to measure its real benefit. Why is that?
This morning for example I meant to do 1k intervals on the track. However it was so cold and windy outside that I knew it would totally mess up my workout (mostly because of the wind), so I decided to do the same workout on the treadmill at my house. So I know it’s not exactly the same thing and that on the treadmill you usually do faster times, but this workout would benefit me more than running in a freezing windy day outside with weak times. So what’s your story with the treadmill?
On race day, nobody gives a shi7 where you trained. But running out in the winter slows you down... Fact. It hampers what you can do in workouts. This allows you to recover! Most of us grew up around the track and xc season. We want fast times in april and may. If you're training for a march marathon and live in a cold climate, it might make sense to run on the treadmill. Running is built around peaking for a few key races, not successfully working out month after month. Now some people can do that best with a stable climate year round; they know when to back off. Others need the break cold winter provides. As to the treadmill, people have denigrated that to feel better about themselves when they finish winter runs, realizing it was crap compared to november workouts.

can see both sides of it. Treadmill can be effective in some sotuations.
I live way up in canada, in a town that gets a lot of snow. If the sidewalks or roads arent clear, I’d rather run on the treadmill than stumble around on janky snow footing, at least for some workouts. I feel like its too hard to run with good form when the surface is too uneven and slippy. more chnace of injury. And all the good races happen in the spring after it melts
But also think OP you need to be mentally tougher. Sounds like you just dont like the cold wind.
Have you tried running outside in the cold? just put on an extra sweater and some mittens. Its not as bad as you think.
Also if you run into the headwind for too long, you could freeze your peepee so wear underwear
Agree with that last point, I got frost bite on my fingers once when I had to send a mitten down there mid-run. But if you have to choose...
They’re fine. I always end up on the treadmill once or twice per week in the winter to avoid ice.
If I must run on the treadmill, I try to make it a cruise interval workout. Mile repeats or something similar is the best treadmill run you can do. Quick enough to not feel too boring, not so fast that you risk some weird injury.

I'll tell ya, you're gonna lose.
On cold, windy days, I drag my tradmill outside and run on it.
Best of both worlds.
My treadmill is already on the back of a trailer. I have my brother pull me around town on the same routes I normally run when no snow. I just plug the treadmill into my honda generator and it's ready to go.

18.5 miles in 2 hours! Yep tough back in the day... now 20 minutes is enough.
The Ingebrigtsens do a huge chunk of their training, including quality interval sessions @threshold pace on the treadmill. Unless you’re running your 1500s in 3:31 or faster, your opinions aren’t worth a cent
Please tell me that there's video of this. And you are going to post this video.
What's a 'k'? Real men do mile repeats.
I for one think it makes you less of a man because every time you have to use a treadmill (AKA dreadmill), you die a little inside. So you go from 100% man (or woman) to 99% man (or woman) with each use. I don't know how the scientifics work for people that run on dreadmills everyday, but theoretically they are actually dementors.
