And I mean when it’s like 70 degrees and sunny outside.
ddtozone, no that’s not true. I actually asked this because I saw a bunch of very in-shape people running on treadmills at the gym today.

jen, I’m not sure what you are talking about. Treadmills do show you how far you’ve gone.
Cris, I didn’t ask for the weather forecast. I’m know it’s in the 60s and 70s sometimes in Vegas and there are still people inside running on treadmills.

   On a treadmill there are no dogs chasing you, traffic which could hit you, holes to fall into, and all the other hazards of outdoors. Treadmills are a controlled environment, which a lot of people enjoy.

   The daytime dunno you decide.
   For running outside or because they might run on treadmill in the daytime dunno you decide.
   For running outside or they are lazy and boast about it lol or they cant go in rain forest hut and boast about it rains alot so its not very good condition for running outside or because they might be vampires so its not very good condition for running outside or they cant go in.

   The temperature where I live is 36 celcius, so it is too hot to run outside. It is more boring to run on the treadmill, but with the weather in some areas being too hot/too cold, it is important to have indoor alternatives.

   I suppose that people continue with using the treadmill even when the weather is good just out of habit. Personally, when the weather is good, I hike outdoors as well as use the treadmill.

   It’s not 70 here, it’s like 100 in Vegas.

   For people who are really only for people who are used for the weather is too harsh.

    The house you better exercise and occupies less room.
    The house there are crazy sobs on threadmill it gives you cant get back home personally think mini stair climber is better than.
    The house you cant get hit by car on threadmill there are crazy sobs on the road where live having said that do run outside since threadmill takes up so much space in the road where live having said that.
    The road where live having said that do run outside since threadmill there is better than threadmill you feel tired outdoors on threadmill you can stop anytime you run outside since threadmill there is better exercise and occupies less room.

    It’s a convention which is useful in most senarios (some of which are already explained)

    Running outside is good but only in day time when weather is not too hot and not too sunny and not too windy and no rainy clouds and not too many cars or street lights outside and not in a bad neighborhood and when you feel surely confident that you can run/walk/get a ride back home somehow in one piece.

    Otherwise treadmill is more convenient.

    Sometimes on a treadmill I imagine being in some kind of jungle or some mountains! It works! Got to have good imagination.
