In June I started running 3 miles, a few days a week. I started out on my crappy treadmill doing the Couch to 5K, then transitioned to running outside near the end of the C5K program. I've been running outside since then and love it, but being in MA, the roads are less than desirable for outside running right now.
Today I ran on my treadmill again and HATED it! My lower back was killing me! I had been thinking about joining a gym to be able to use the treadmills during the winter months but I wonder if the quality of treadmill will make a difference for me.
I know my treadmill stinks so I didn't expect my run to be great today, but someone I know said she didn't think a better treadmill would make a difference; that if you are used to street running that running on any treadmill isn't going to feel good. Any thoughts? I can't imagine a better treadmill wouldn't feel better but who knows
