Some great sessions...but... Training Diaries: Week 48

[@Davotheledge]

Hey mate. Just wondering if you’ve done any all out efforts on a treadmill, and if so, how they compare to your outdoor times? Context: I’ve got a treadmill that was calibrated 3 months ago, and I set it to a 1% incline for all my runs. I recently did a 5 km in 19:37 and a 1 k at I think 3:17. However, my outside running is absolute rubbish. If I try to keep my 5 k pace on a (cambered) bitumen road, it’s a struggle just to hold it for 1 km! Doable, but certainly not easy. I’ve only spoke to 1 or 2 other people about it, and experiences seem mixed. So I guess I was just wondering what your experience was since you seem to find outdoor running a lot easier than I do.
