Hi
I joined the gym about 11 months ago and have been increasing my running on the treadmill since mid April 06. I am running a Half marathon on the 08 October 06. I am able to run on the treadmill for 60 minutes (varied resistance and also interval training). I also use the cross trainers and weights etc. I have been for two road runs so far and don't feel that i'm doing as well or can run as far (not helped by the hot weather I think). I need to do most of my preparation on the treadmill. Can anyone give me any helpful hints of how I can get the most out of my work out on the treadmill? Also any helps on how I can get into the "zone" so to speak with the road running? Does anyone think that a half marathon is achievable by October? I was feeling pretty good about my running at the gym but am feeling a bit demoralized having only been able to run on the road for 25 minutes!! I've heard people say that treadmill training is not useful for long distance training? Help!!
Any helpful hints would be great.
