Q. Do I get the same workout on a treadmill as I do running outside?
A. No. Your treadmill workout is easier. Research shows that most people use less oxygen and have a lower heart rte on a treadmill than running the same pace and distance on the roads, mostly because there's no wind resistance inside. You can make up the difference on the treadmill by picking up your pace by five to 15 seconds per or set the treadmill at a one percent incline. - Coach Lesley (coachlesley.com) Mettler, Lesley.
