Taylor Swift famously trained on a treadmill for her Eras tour.

Sure, but we are not training to be pop stars. We’re runners, and there are a lot of questions about how good of a tool it really is.

So let’s explore.

On today’s show, we’re going to get into everything you need to know about treadmill running. You’ll learn:

If the treadmill is really the same as running outside
If you really need to adjust the incline or play around with your speed to make it more like outdoors,
And why doesn’t the machine ever line up with your running watch?

I’ll also go over how to use the treadmill to get the best workout and I’ll even get into how to make the dreadmill a lot less dreadful.
