Treadmills??????????
Message posted by: Matthew L.
My wife and I just purchased a treadmill (nordictrack 5100) for our new workout room. I took my first run on it today and was very confused. I had it set to 7 which is apparently in mph. It said that this was an 8:34 pace however I felt as though I was running a 100 yard dash. I couldn't believe how fast I felt I had to run to keep up. I normally feel as though I'm a pretty good judge of pace and can normally run about an 8 on most training runs. I'm suspecting there must be some inherent differences between actual running and treadmill running. Also, even though I felt as though I was running fast I wasn't as winded as I would have thought for how fast it felt like I was going. Anyone like to offer some insight?? Thanks
