There has been a lot of snow about the last few weeks and this can play havoc with all the training plans. The treadmill is a great alternative that allows you to keep on training whatever the weather.
It is a real asset if you have one in your own home, but if you have not then there are plenty of sports centres and gyms about that will allow you to use their equipment for a nominal fee. This is really the only alternative when the snow is really heavy and blocking up all the roads that you would normally run on. Running on a treadmill is quite a bit different from running on the road. One thing that you have to get used to is the sense of movement as you run. You can easily become unbalanced at first and it is quite a strange feeling. The other observation would be that it gets quite warm and it can feel quite stuffy in comparison to running outdoors. Having said that, running on the treadmill does allow you to continue training and this is obviously the way to go for any who are on a programme or heading towards their first race.
