RE: My first foray into treadmill running with Garmin tracking my stats
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I have access to a treadmill and still don't jump up and say I will use it because it is monotonous. I will be using the exercise bike though and have asked them to exchange it for one that will have swift so I can at least get involved in races. If anything is going to give you a reason to stay active it is competing against others and I am kind of competitive. Thankfully I get the equipment for free as they are all demos from the show room.

that's fantastic that you can get that stuff for free. I agree with the competitive side of things. There is also a sense of community in stuff like that such as every time I have entered a race of sorts I always have much better times than I would if I was just in the park on my own. This sort of "nobody else is giving up so I wont either" attitude.
Yes you give it the extra push which you would normally not do. I am very competitive and will do a 200km stint on an exercise bike with no problem.
