What's the difference between running on a treadmill and running outdoors?
Running in fitness exercise is suitable for all people. Personally, I prefer outdoor running, but I also organize some trotting groups, often participate in marathons organized by various regions, and also exercise in the health room for a period of time. I think there are several differences between running on the treadmill and running outdoors to share with you.

First of all, the right people

Runners on treadmills are generally young people. Most of them are busy at work during the day and go to the gym to exercise at night. Some people have a treadmill at home, so they don't have to run outdoors at night, or they break out after running. Just take a bath. Outdoor sports are suitable for everyone, whether they are old people or children, whether they are city people or country people, they can run in the morning or go to fun run. Fun run is a good choice for office workers.

Second, the nature of movement.

Running on the treadmill is an indoor activity, and the speed, distance and slope of running on the treadmill are all set in advance. Another advantage of running on the treadmill is that it is not affected by the weather environment and can be controlled to exercise at a suitable temperature. There are many choices for outdoor running. You can choose a flat road, a park path, or a natural place. Running outdoors depends on which one suits your surroundings. Outdoor running is seriously affected by the weather. If it's raining or snowing, you can't run. If it's windy or foggy, it's not suitable for outdoor sports. In a word, there are many factors that affect outdoor sports.

Third, the purpose of running

Running on the treadmill has a strong purpose, mostly for fitness and weight loss. It can be said that running is for running, which is boring compared with outdoor sports. Running outdoors not only exercises the body, but also enjoys the beautiful scenery along the way. The breath you feel when running is different in different seasons, especially in the season when grass grows and flowers bloom, which is most suitable for the masses to run outdoors. In short, even if you choose fun run, you can watch the night scene. The purpose of outdoor running is not only to run for the sake of running, but more importantly, to run with mood. Running outdoors will make you forget all your troubles and worries, really blend in with nature and feel the fun of running.

Fourth, the effect of exercise.

Running on the treadmill has a small stride and high frequency. Your body needs less work during running, and no other external factors affect your speed. Therefore, the energy consumed on the treadmill is less than that consumed by outdoor running, mainly because the indoor air is relatively poor and generally boring compared with outdoor running. Outdoor running is the best choice for aerobic exercise, especially for the elderly who want to keep fit. Running outdoors can not only make your body healthier, but also make your mood more comfortable. Running on the treadmill will never make you feel the pleasure of running outdoors, especially when you have relatives or friends around you. This is a very happy thing.
