Does anybody else find exercise / walking / jogging harder on the treadmill then it is in real life?

In real life I can walk 7 kilometres and not feel tired but on the treadmill if I walk at the same speed I am exhausted after 10 minutes. I think it's because I'm not used to the artificial tension of the treadmill.

Yes. I think it's because we have less control on treadmills. When doing those things naturally we can run at a variety of speeds without having to press any buttons. We can take more narrow or wide steps when we feel like it. No worries about slipping and breaking the nose or losing teeth against the treadmill.

I find it easier running on a treadmill, probably because I live in the country and my trails are all Rocky and uphill.

I think it's easier but much more boring.

Hmm. I actually find it easier

[LaylaTwoHours]

It's the opposite for me.
