Maximizing Your Treadmill Running
Treadmill running helps avoid the heat, but is the workout as good?
There’s a reason runners refer to the treadmill as the “dreadmill.” The exercise machine provides limited visual stimuli and is typically located in a gym or basement, which can be a stuffy, uninviting place to run. Clocking mile after mile in the same place, especially for a long run, can mean an hour or more of boredom.
There are, however, benefits to running on the treadmill, running coaches and exercise scientists say. The record-breaking temperatures and the poor air quality from the Canadian wildfires this year have made running outside risky or outright dangerous at times. Treadmills allow runners to keep training despite inclement or hot weather.
“Treadmills are misunderstood by a vast majority of the people,” said James McKirdy, a running coach. “Having that option is important and can be pivotal in the success of someone’s goals.”
We asked running experts about the effectiveness of treadmill running and how to get the most out of those workouts.
Is running on the treadmill as effective as running outside?
There are subtle differences with running on the treadmill, but it is largely as effective as training outside, experts say.
While energy consumption is “very, very slightly lower,” in treadmill running, the differences are minor, said Bas Van Hooren, a competitive runner and researcher at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. At speeds of up to 16 kilometers per hour, which is roughly a six-minute per mile pace, treadmill running results in similar oxygen costs and heart rate compared to outside running, he said.
The slight difference in energy consumption, though, can add up if you do the majority or all of your training on a treadmill, Van Hooren added.
The treadmills themselves may also have limitations. Some can only go up to a certain speed, and others, whether because of quality or wear and tear, can display inaccurate paces on the screen, McKirdy said.
Do I have to use the incline?
Some runners put treadmills at a 1 percent incline in an effort to match the energy costs of running outdoors, but that isn’t necessary, said Van Hooren, who has been a co-author on reviews on treadmill running. Keeping your treadmill at a zero percent incline is fine.
Increasing the incline on treadmills can be useful, though, for hill repeats or to mix up your workouts.
“Hill workouts might be easier on treadmills, because if you’re doing it outside, it might take a long time to get down the hill,” said Olympian Kim Conley, a running coach. “But on a treadmill, you can go as long as you want or short as you want on your recovery.”
How does the treadmill affect my running form?
Experts recommend taking at least a few minutes to familiarize yourself with running on a treadmill.
Unlike outdoor runs where you’re propelling yourself off the ground, the belt is moving under you on a treadmill, said Andrew Schille, a clinical research coordinator at the Emory University Sports Performance and Research Center.
People who are not accustomed to treadmill running may adopt a slightly higher step frequency and land a bit more toward the front of their foot compared with the heel of their foot, Van Hooren said.

the BAU x situaciones tercermundistas (mexican situations) inspired by my chaotic conversations with @ihavemanyhusbands
Spencer Reid - The questionable street food
"I'm not eating there." Spencer blurted out, his body turning around from the homemade food stall you were visiting.
"Spence, come on, I promise the food is very good." you grabbed at his hand to stop him from moving any further.
"I just saw the cook, who is also the vendor, and the waiter at the same time, take the meat from one of those containers your mom uses to wash clothes. And the ten minutes we have been here I haven't seen him wash his hands once." he kept pointing at the mentioned utensils.
"Yes, but this is a meat palangana, the other one is a laundry palangana. Plus, exposing yourself to bacteria builds your immune system." you clarified.
"And what's the difference between a meat palangana and a clothes palangana exactly?" his eyebrows raised questioningly.
You were amiss for a second, your lips pursed in embarrassment. "One is used for meat?" he rolled his eyes at your answer before immediately sighing in defeat; he reached for his phone in his pocket and began to toy with it silently "What are you doing?" you asked curiously.
"Putting an EMT on speed dial, I have the feeling I'm going to need it later."
Aaron Hotchner - The keeping up with the alcoholic uncles
"Mija, your boyfriend drinks?" your mom's brother asked in a whisper, being that Aaron was sitting next to you.
"Yes, tío, he does, but he drinks mostly whiskey." you told him.
"Puta, que fino." he muttered sarcastically before his voice raised again "Hey, Aarón, you drink coronitas?" your uncle asked with a very spanish promunciation of your boyfriend's name.
"Yes, I could take a beer." Hotch answered, his eyes travelling questioningly.
You watched as your uncle's smile grew wide and he made a signal to your aunt that was somewhere around the fridge area. Within a couple of minutes, another one of your uncles dropped a carton of 24 beers at your table.
Aaron's eyebrows raised in pure surprise, he leaned to be closer to your face and whisper into your ear.
"Honey, what is that?" he pointed discreetly to the beer.
"Beer for the table." you clarified.
"There are exactly five people at this table"
"Oh, no, this is for the men only, so that makes you and my uncle." you explained to him, and an amused smile appeared on your face at how pale he seemed to get.
"I thought you said this was your cousin's third birthday party."
"It is." you had to yet again specify.
He leaned even further into his seat, hands dropped to the sides tiredly, almost as he seemed unable to coprehend how he was going to swallow down 3 liters of beer.
"Liquour budget at our wedding will make me go broke, won't it?"

why does actually doing sport make me feel better???? WHY DOES IT WORK I HATE SPORT
well I have to do some sport because I got bullied into signing into a marathon by another couch potato friend because he didn't want to be alone and also got bullied into it by our mutual sport nut friends
decided to start up by just doing stuff i can do at home like jumping jacks (sorry downstairs neighbour). might fuck around and get a jumping rope tomorrow.
not to mention that it's a marathon specifically for companies so i'll also be a) with the other sport nuts of the company and b) one of the fucks representing the company
i have two and a half months to build up some stamina lesgo

Just to let you guys understand the extent to which I live under a rock when it comes to popular media: last week, I watched the leaked finale of House of the Dragon...
And I didn’t realize it had been leaked in the first place until today, more than a week later. 
To make matters worse, I only learnt about it because it came up in a conversation with a friend and she told me. If not for that, I would have been none the wiser.

[[ A great thing about Masador and Nistiel’s relationship is that once Nistiel gets his batteries, Masador starts helping him workout so he can recover some muscle mass considering how little he had left. Thing is, Nistiel has always hated working out with Masador, not because of them disliking each other, but because Nistiel just dislikes the pain afterwards, he calls it torture.
So the whole time he's cussing Masador out under his breath, while Masador is just happy to hear him complain because it means Nistiel is recovering well enough to be able to speak more than a couple words at a time ]]

Hi bestieeeeee <333 I’ve had this thought for a while but I thought I’d share it and yell at you about it
Hotch being your gym crush 😫 like season 10/11 Hotch. When everyone noticed his suits fit him better 🤭
You just watch him from afar and he’s so yummy because he’s not like any gym bro. He’s clearly a dilf who takes care of his mind and body by going to the gym and 😫😫😫😫 he gets all sweaty and his chest heaving in and out, panting when he gets out of the threadmill (bc we know he’s a cardio guy *wink wink* and oh you wish you’d do some other type of cardio with him 🫣)
bestie hiiii!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
ahhhh beefy hotch 😫😫😮‍💨😮‍💨
okay okay! he usually goes to the gym pretty early in the morning so he can go to work after. and…it was love at first sight for you 🤭 you’re used to 1. creepy dudes who stare at you and make you uncomfortable and 2. guys who only want to flex and brag 🙄 and then he walks in <3
he’s older than all of them, mature, quiet, and minds his own business 🤩 he usually wears headphones and doesn’t really talk to anyone. and he’s soooo handsome your heart goes crazy and it’s not bc you’re on the treadmill 🤭
he’s so mysterious and you can’t stop staring at him </3 plus he’s sooo tall and big and perfect <333 you just wanna bite his arms and his stomach and his thighs and his chest 😮‍💨😮‍💨 but he’s a respectful king 😣🙏🏻 so at first you think he doesn’t like you bc he hasn’t been giving you any attention (it was love at first sight for him too but he doesn’t wanna make you uncomfortable)
but there are so many ways you could get together!! maybe you go very early like he does so there aren’t many people there and you can start a conversation easier 🤭 maybe a guy is annoying you and aaron steps in and tells him to fuck off <3333 or maybe you get dizzy or something bc of an intense workout and he’s the closest person near you so he helps you and then buys you something to eat and a bottle of juice and he’s super worried and caring 🥺
one thing is for sure tho, you find your way to each other 🥹🥹 and ofc all this hard training pays off bc when you participate in another version of cardio you keep it up all night long 😎

I think she's now regretting this whole "fit life" ordeal... 💦
I'm sorry this is up a lil' late!! This is the public release of the January Special Piece, first available on Fat-treon!! 🌟
People there voted for this jogging/threadmill theme to feature Retsuko attempting to get into fitness for 2024... she probably already dropped it by now!
