running watches that track pace image
Joesph
My running comfortable pace is about 8:30 per mile. I want to run at a pace of 8 mph. Would a treadmill be sufficient of helping me attain the pace versus running outside?
Answer
The general consensus is that if you want to train on a treadmill you should set a 1% incline to compensate for the lack of wind resistance, minor elevation changes, and other factors that you would otherwise experience while outdoors.
Treadmills are great when when weather conditions aren't best outdoors, but ideally you should be training on the terrain you want to achieve your pace at. Variations in elevation, turns, changes in stride, dodging other runners/obstacles help you to develop your core and give the muscles you use for running a better balance.
To track your progress, consider purchasing a digital pedometer like the Nike+ system, or a Garmin Forerunner GPS watch if your budget allows.

Will running on a cruise ship's track with my gps watch mess up the distance?
j157330
Hi, I am going on a cruise soon and was wondering if when I run on the track that is on the cruise, will the distance and pace results of my Garmin Forerunner 450 (gps running watch) be messed up because of the ship's motion?
Answer
Although I don't have such a watch, I'm quite sure the answer is yes. GPS determines the longitude and latitude and calculates distance, speed, etc from that. Your cruise ship should have a sign on the walking deck that states how far one lap is.
