Prioritize outdoor runs whenever possible

As with any training plan, it’s best to train on terrain similar to what you’ll encounter on race day. So, whenever you can, opt for outdoor runs instead of treadmill sessions, and choose trail paths over paved roads.

That said, you have the option to select “6-minute hill” in the hill settings to help simulate hill workouts on your treadmill.
