Running :Track vs. Treadmill I know outside is ultimately a better workout as far as using more energy but I just want to know if anybody knows what a good translation for my time from a treadmill to a track might be for example I run a 10:03 1.5 mile race on a treadmill but can that translate into a 12:55 1.5 mile race on an outside track or will my time be closer to the treadmill given that I maintain a good pace like I do on the treadmill or do you think my time will be a lot worse than 10:03.
thanks

Your time should be pretty similar. I don't run well on a treadmill because even if the treadmill is going pretty quckly sometimes I speed up, then I hit the front with my hands. I prefer to run outside.

If its 2400 meters, and not exactly 1.5 mikes, then your time could be better outside. You also need to know how to pace yourself outside; the treadmill doesn't show you how to do that.
