I run outside almost exclusively. If the idea of tracking progress by using a treadmill keeps you inside, I recommend getting a GPS watch. I must admit, I’m somewhat addicted to the GPS and haven’t run without it in years.
The beauty of it is, that no matter what route I take, I know how far and how fast I’ve been running. I used to be restricted to 4 or 5 routes near roads where I knew the distance having measured it with the odometer in my car.
Now, when I’m out and I want to check out a side street or an unknown “short cut” I just go for it, and my GPS dutifully reports how far I’ve been. Plus, when traveling, I can just go exploring and I’ll know how much exercise I’ve gotten. Plus, the watch itself keeps a record of all my runs, so I can download maps and data (including heart rate, but I rarely use the monitor).

Definitely outdoors is the best you get fresh air Man from origin is outdoors most of the time. Running on a treadmill is nice too but you have to be really motivated to keep a routine going. Inhaling the same air is not good it’s important to have some type of circulation going .

I prefer the fresh air, so I mostly exercise outdoors. When I go to the gym I do run on the treadmill.

Not a choice in Florida. It is hot outside. Treadmill is the only way.

Nice blog you have here. I pretty much lurk the internet when I’m bored and read all I can about the organic lifestyle, but I really liked you view on things. I’ll bookmark the site and subscribe to the feed!

outdoors. NO question about it. Just ran 10 miles. I would be bored to tears doing that indoors watching CNN. I do this all year round. The fresh air and changing scenery keeps me going.

I love to be outside whenever I can it just feels different. I live in Florida on the water so my route is very scenic and it makes my workout so much more fun. I love strapping on my Ipod and going to town just blocking everything out. I have a treadmill as well but I really feel as though I push myself so much harder outside.

I prefer running and on treadmills as while I training for footy I went from having absolutly no fitness to being able to run 3km in twelve minutes in a matter of months just from running on a treadmill for 5 or 6 km. I was able to progress every run wheather it was increased time, distance or intensity its easy to track your progress on a treadmill.

I definetly prefer to run outdoors, but living in Fresno, Ca we have very hot summers (today is 106F) which somedays force me to run on a treadmill. In order to keep my treadmill workouts efficient and fun, I like to ramp up and down the elevation, or do sprint intervals.
