Yesterday at the gym, I jogged/walked a 5K in 39:09. Not too bad of an improvement from 40:45 on my last attempt (on a treadmill). What I can't understand is how drastically different it is, at least for me, to jog outside. I understand that the treadmill is easier. Obviously the "ground" is moving to help you along on a treadmill, plus there's the whole shock absorption thing they offer (and the nicer the treadmill, the easier it seems to be).
For instance, my treadmill at home is not as high in quality as the gym treadmills, and jogging on it is quite a bit harder for me than at the gym. Where I regularly jog 2 straight miles on a gym treadmill, I can barely make it a mile on my treadmill at home without feeling like I'm going to die. And outside, well, I'm dying by the end of my street! Seriously, I understand that it would be easier on a treadmill, but those are some major differences there! I just don't get it.
