Does anyone know if you can do training for a 10k or half marathon partly on a treadmill?. I want to give my knees a rest from running on the road, but don't know if running on a treadmill will be the same as running outside.

Why not see if your local council has an all weather running track you can use.

"running on grass is better than on a road or treadmill"

Running on a treadmill will be fine from a training perspective but I'm not convinced it will be significantly easier on your knees.

Brighton - even Hove!

If your knees are starting to be a problem, I'd try cycling instead to avoid impact damage. You still get to strengthen your legs. Or get gel inserts to cushion your feet.

This is a good point.

OP did you get your running shoes from a decent shop and get them properly fitted?

If your knees hurt you can strap them properly and there will be no pain at all. You strap in a v shape under the kneecap. Or your legs may be different lengths which can cause it. Found that out on grahame norton show last night believe it or not lol. I do most of training on treadmil anyway

I don't have any problems with knees(yet), but i know running of tarmac all the time won't be good for my knees. I want to switch over to doing some training on a treadmill, but i don't know if doing say 5k on there will benefit me as doing 5k outside. I may try to do a bit of running in my local park.

Im running in a 10k run in about 5 weeks time, and want to beat a friend who is also running it, and ive challenged him that the loser has to pay money to a charity. But his last 10k run was 2 minutes quicker than mine, so im trying to get my time down enough to try to beat him.

If you're only running 10K it's not that much of a worry surely.
