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.
