    'half' ... mile?
    5,000 ... steps?
    I'm willing to do train for that if means I'll be tripping balls enough to see a cat riding a unicorn

    Jokes aside, how close should running outside and on a treadmill be? Feels like with a little training I could go 5km < 30min on a treadmill but maybe not even break a mile non-stop outside, on a level surface. WTF!?!

    Half century. Fifty miles. A nice warmup before the real ride begins.

    Half marathon I'd say. I have one next month, then I need to do a full marathon, then I'm done with running because it's so stupid.

    The "dreadmill" as I call it, is great for speed workouts, if you can't find a track. I have a hard time using it to simulate running outside, so I don't trust my splits between miles. Sure you can add resistance and elevate the ramp, but it's not the same as running outside. I'm not trying to PR this half considering the last 8 months of my personal life was shit, but I do want to finish under two hours. My best is 1:46:37. As for a full, I want to run Boston some day and then I'll never run a full again. It takes a lot of training and food dedication. I mean, I love bacon, burgers, chips, etc. That all goes away when I'm seriously training. Good luck with your half next month though.

    It's my first, and I'm hoping for sub two hours as well.

    Your first, excellent. Is the course flat or hilly?

    Mostly flat, but with a few lumps and rises.

    Do it a bit at a time. I hear that it's easier that way.

    My first was a 1:53 and I'm a bit of a plodding runner, you should be able to achieve that. When I ran the marathon the first half of that was also under 2:00. It isn't bad, just mentally lie back and think of England and you'll be okay.
