I still stand by that the treadmill will prepare you for the outdoor running about 90%. A lot of the training is mental and feeling comfortable being uncomfortable. In theory the technique should be totally different when running on the ground, but I barely noticed a difference.
For the experts on running, do you run?
Bazza your absolutely right that fitness has to be specific. I have not had the right training balance for what I need to do. Feel like such a dumb ass and now with no ass because I am convinced its dissipated because of the treadmill!
Have a look online. There are plenty of downloadable training programs for all distances available. Check out some running specific sites. Most running programs use a wave/step loading approach. You will likely have less success training for a 2.4 by running only a 2.4 every day.
What was the target. 2.4km in 14 min. No need to get fancy.

Yep. Its not rocket science. Just run the distance then aim for better time each run. Usually takes me just 3 weeks to drastically improve my running time over a set distance. Its why so may people run to "get fit". Its easy. Improvements happen quickly and society has, for some strange reason, all sorts of awe and wonder for people who go for a run. Never could figure it out. Its like getting a medal for breathing. But, each to their own.
like running on a tread mill which does most of the hard work for you.
I see all these kunce on the treadmills at the gym lined up like ants and I think, ffs it's a nice day outside fucking go out there and run. Treadmill running is boring as fuck. It's always interesting having a snoop around your neighbourhood.
Are you sure steve, think about it.When's the last time you ran on a treadmill? It doesn't do any work for you.

Not sure last time as I get outside to run, but used to do 10-15km a day a few years ago as it was too hot to run outside, and yes it most certainly does most of the work for you, it has a massive 5 hp motor, you are not propelling yourself through space, you are simply lifting your legs up as the motor moves the road under you rather than you using your legs to move yourself forward, hence running on a treadmill is pretty much effortless 15km on a treadmill is easy as while I could not do it out on the road where my limit usually is 5-7km.
