Which one feels easier for you?
Interestingly, the study found that when the runners ran faster—but not all-out—on the treadmill, they exhibited higher heart rates and reported higher levels of perceived exertion than when they ran the same workout outdoors, though they had lower blood lactate levels indoors compared to outdoors. But when the runners went slower on the treadmill, their heart rates and perceived exertion levels were lower than when they ran the same effort on real ground.
Interestingly, though, the runners in the studies displayed more endurance—i.e., they could push harder and for longer—running on land than on the treadmill. That was a surprise to Fuller: Since so much of treadmill running can be controlled it seems that runners would perform best on treadmills. And yet, time and again, when runners are asked to simulate a race outside, they’re able to hit faster times, he explained.Why does this happen? The research suggests that because people perceive running on a treadmill as harder than running outdoors, they tend to select treadmill speeds that are slower than what they’re capable of doing.
Well, it depends on your workout. The research suggests that if you’re going fast on the ’mill, cranking it up to 1 percent is beneficial, since it simulates the type of resistance you encounter from the wind when running outside. On
