The heat is extreme where I am and my runs are horrid outside but quite comfortable indoors. I was worried, though, that too much treadmill running would not be adequate training for a marathon.

Don't worry, I will be fine. I did not run the marathon in Rochester last year. BUT I did run the half marathon. And I did it only a month and a half after I started running at all. I will fine! Thanks for your concern. BTW, find me and say hi this race. And the plan is for my wife to be at mile 21 with the OCB (LVM 21 cowbell). Well at least until after I pass, then she may head to the finish line to wait for me. I have been training for a 3:30, I will be targetting a 3:45, and am hoping for a sub-4 hour marathon! LOL! Hi Al!

Last year's Rochester Marathon was higher then normal temperatures. You may wish to do at least a few of your long runs outside on hot days so you have a feeling for how your body will handle it. Especially if you have a time goal in mind. Al from Spencerport Rob,

I am trying to think of how many training runs I have done outside, I am guessing maybe six or seven total. Definately under ten. So I am guessing my treadmill percentage is maybe 98%. I don't track my milage in a spreadsheet or anything. I print out my schedule, and just check off my runs as I do them. I have had my treadmill for just over a year, and I am guessing I have run over 1000 miles on it. The treadmill is definatly showing wear. I plan on running it into the ground. Then I am not sure what I will do. I might buy another used one, or maybe go to the local sporting goods store, and buy an higher end model, and buy the service package. Hi Matt!

Matt M here... and I do about 90%+ of my training on treadmills. Love it. I just didn't want you to feel all alone... tho, technically... you are pretty much alone since you run on a treadmill. Okay, gotta motor. Hey, Rob! Matt M here… and I do about 90%+ of my training on treadmills. Love it.
