I've come to the conclusion, cardio is my truly weakest link on me,plus i'm trying to drop some fat. When I started last week.....I ran my 1st mile( tredmill)in about 11:05, descent I thought for a 268lb guy, who does no cardio lol. As I kept doing it day after day, to my surprise and shock, my heart and lungs adapted very quickly. So far in fact.....today I ran a mile in 9:06. So shocking its hard for me to believe.....I know its not the hard ground..but still i was amazed how fast my body acomadated to it. -------------- Friends don\'t let friends squat high...

I have a hard time running an 8 minute mile on a treadmill, but I can run repeat almost 7 flat miles on my school track. Idk if it's just me, but the air inside seems different so I don't breathe as well.

It's easier on the knees, and more like the natural motion of running on ground, because you have to push back more rather than just bounce up and down while the tread moves underneath you. Hope that makes sense to you. Congrats man.
