Another pro to working out on the treadmill is that you can stop your run anytime and you don’t have to walk home. You can do your workout during your favorite television show. With the new treadmills that are available today you can even have your own television on the individual treadmill.
But treadmill running also has con’s to the process. There is no change of scenery to distract you, the route is the same each day, you can’t run turns and you can’t practice running down hill.
Running outdoors has some issues with personal safety, running through the weather and it’s necessary to have some clothing for the weather. But running outdoors also gives a runner the ability to change routes, change scenery, run downhill, around corners and with others. Running outdoors can be more motivating, burn more calories and runners report more feelings of accomplishment with running outdoors.
