Rosehip Dec 2021 12:24pm, 6 Dec 2021 23,313 posts	0 Rosehip A treadmill would have been warmer than this morning’s run! I can’t make my mind up whether I’d use one enough - but as insurance against more lockdowns/isolations etc I’m still tempted 5.5 for me, 16.2/100 - still behind
Ness Dec 2021 12:31pm, 6 Dec 2021 18,302 posts	0 Ness I must admit, Rosehip, when Mr Ness and I had a treadmill it was only worth it because he used it a lot more than me. When we had to quarantine after our holiday in January, I used the turbo trainer instead because our treadmill had broken by then. I would have used a treadmill if we’d had one.
Welshpoppy Dec 2021 12:32pm, 6 Dec 2021 1,503 posts	0 Welshpoppy Treadmill is useful in the icy weather but when it is as old as mine and cronky it is never enjoyable.mine is 20+ years old but when it breaks I am not sure I would replace it.
Velocirappingpaper Dec 2021 12:37pm, 6 Dec 2021 55,306 posts	0 Velocirappingpaper I used my treadmill a fair amount when it was icy in January, but most of the time it's there as an incentive. "It's too cold/wet/windy/dark to run, I won't bother." "There's always the treadmill ... " "Oh, yes. I forgot that. Maybe it's not so cold/wet/windy/dark after all. I'm going out."
Tikka Dec 2021 12:39pm, 6 Dec 2021 186 posts	0 Tikka That’s another reason why setting up a treadmill in my tiny living room would be a mistake - the only time it would ever be used is if it was icy, snowing or if there was a weather-warning style storm.
Autumnleaves Dec 2021 1:30pm, 6 Dec 2021 17,468 posts	0 Autumnleaves I have to be honest I think I'd always rather run outside whatever the weather, even if I end up walking chunks if it's icy etc. I just don't get on well with treadmills
Rosehip Dec 2021 1:49pm, 6 Dec 2021 23,314 posts	0 Rosehip Ice isn’t such a problem here - I just run on the trails, it’s really windy wet days I don’t like

Looby Loo Dec 2021 4:20pm, 6 Dec 2021 1,746 posts	0 Looby Loo Mine is only used when I can’t get out but has been useful during periods of isolation. I’m starting marathon training soon and will use if we have snow/ice. Mind you 10k is the furthest I’ve ever gone. OH did do a half.
