if I usually run on a level treadmill, how much slower will I be on the road?

You may not run slower on the road. I always run faster when I am outside. The one thing that might slow you down are hills. Given that there is more room and you aren't set on a certain pace, you too might run quicker. You should see if any of your friends have a gps system that you can borrow for a run. It will tell you exactly how far and how fast you've run and even tell you your pace splits. But, what I do sometimes is drive the course so, I know exactly how far it is and then time my run. I'm rambling.

The average is usually reckoned to be about 3 miles an hour on the flat, less if going up hill. It's possible to walk significantly faster than 3 miles an hour, but only for short distances.

Yes, even though you're not running as much this should keep you or put you back in the shape that you want. Also you could walk a little more. buy those step counters and try to walk a specifc amount of steps. Have fun.

It depends on how fast you run/walk.  If you are doing a combo of running and walking, you can probably finish in 45 minutes or less.

It depends on what gear you use, but probably right around double or a bit over. Go for about 7 miles but you won't be excercising the same muscles cycling as you would be running. It's not the same.

I believe that running on a treadmill is better. You can pace yourself and keep better track of lap times and the speed at which you are running. Most of all, treadmills absorb alot of the shock of running which would be easier on your joints.

Where your feet make contact with the belt, oil on the underside where the belt and treadmill surface touch each other. So when you run, your body weight is lubricated on the underside of the belt against the body of the treadmill so it offers little resistance as the belt moves and you step.

I have heard estimates of 1% to as high as 3% for incline adjustments to equalize treadmills to outdoor running. The big difference I notice is the lack of any lateral moving when running on a treadmill. There are not pot holes, no curbs, no dogs or kids or bikes to dodge...so, although the running muscles (calves, hammies, quads, etc) get stronger, the secondary muscles (abductors and adductors) DON'T get stronger. So...if you run a treadmill ALL the time...then start including cables for hip flexors, and definitely include adductor and abductor work. Your legs will be more stable and strong and that will lead to better running.

I have actually found I got better results from speed walking with bouts of slow jogging than any other exercise. \nIt's hard to get your technique correct if you running so if you slow it down a bit, it's easier to hold you stomach in, swing and punch your arms and tighten your behind. I don't know how far a mile is coz I work with kilometres. But as long as you go for a least half and hour a day and watch what you eat, you will see results

Actually, regardless of the other posts, it has been proven that power walking up hill at an incline burns more calories than running. Running is a good way to build muscle and endurance, but walking is better if you're looking to lose weight. (its also usually easier to do, and for a longer period of time than running is.)

I believe with a manual treadmill you push the belt yourself.  As in, as you put one foot down, you push the treadmill's surface back with your foot and then put your other foot down.  I would not recommend running on a manual treadmill as I bet it would be very difficult and a little unsafe.

I suppose your talking about High gear or Low gear.\n\nLets say 1-18.\n\nLower gears like 1-10 will be tougher to pedal. And are great for going up hills or getting a leg workout.\n\nHigher gears like 10-18 will be looser and easier to pedal. Great for flat surface or going down hill.\n\nSpeed is only a factor when the amount of force applied meets the momentum required to achieve the speed.\n\nIf your legs are strong enough in low gear you can push hard and move fast. If you've got some good cardio going, that you can really get moving in a high gear too.

Move somewhere warm!\n\nSeriously, if you hate the treadmill, buy warm winter running clothes.  If you are dressed appropriately, it won't seem so cold.

I think I know what you mean...you are on treadmill for a while, you step off and wooowoooowooo the world ain;t where it used to be, right?\n\nThat is very normal and very temporary. Kind of like those people movers in the airport, same thing.\n\nIt is not so bad if you slow it to a walk first, then stop it, then get off.

Approximately yes.\n\nYou'll burn about 20 to 30 calories more by running 2 miles in 20min, which is very negligible.

depends on sex, age height, weight, and whether or not it is uphill or downhill and how briskly you walk go to www.caloriesburnedperhr.com
