The Differences Between Running Outside than Inside

Treadmill Jogging or Running

• Benefits of running on a treadmill
• When weather is bad you can use a treadmill instead
• You can easily set goals by gradually manipulating the programs available
• Is easier than running outside because:
• There is no wind resistance for your body to encounter
• The belt under you feet helps you propel your step
• Breathing is easier because of air conditioning

Outside Jogging or Running

• Benefits of running outside:
• You learn how to pace yourself which is crucial for race splits and race goals.
• Treadmill gets boring after a while. Running outside exposes you to nature and scenery.
• Running outside develops your endurance to wind and weather resistance.
• Also develops you breathing capacity
• Is more difficult than running on a treadmill:
• Weather and wind cause resistance against the body
• Your feet and glutes have to propel your step
• The terrain is always different. Can encounter running on pavement, trails or hills

Jogging outside is great because you burn a lot more calories in a shorter period of time. The reason why is because the environment is different and you have to push yourself. On a treadmill, you are jogging in air-conditioning and it is pushing the speed for you. Either one is great in its own way so using both will help you greatly. Just make sure to stay hydrated, stretch before and after a run. If you are going for a long distance run eat enough carbs to give you the energy. Post run take your protein shake and replenish your carb intake for recovery.
