Hello everyone, this is my first post on this site, I've been a reader for some time. So i just thought I'd say hi to everyone.
Recently (2 days ago), i finally finished my papers and got them sent away so I'm really excited to be joining a great team.
My question now is, I'm not a person who is in overly great shape and I'm working on my running as much as my legs will let me, but I've been running on a treadmill at a local gym. I've been reading some forums and what not about people saying how treadmill's aren't the best for running, but it's cold outside where i live in Manitoba and when i started trying to run i could only go 2 blocks before my lungs would make me stop Because of the cold. Is running on a treadmill to try and increase my running abilities a bad thing or will it help some? i started out really weak at running about a week ago, but I'm up too about a 1.5km's at 8.0km/hr speed on the treadmill. I haven't tried running outside in about a week so I'm not sure how far i could now that I've increased a bit on the treadmill. Does anyone have any advice if i should keep doing it on the treadmill for awhile until the weather is a bit warmer or am i wasting my time running on the treadmill? I'm hoping i don't have to go to BMQ until summer time so it'll give me some time to train outside to actually know my distance and everything, but for now while it's winter do you think running on a treadmill is better then nothing?
Oh and by the way for more info, I'm currently 5'9" and about 240 pounds.
Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you!
