I "still can't see" running on a treadmill. I can't imagine a more miserable, worthless thing to do. Look at the people who spend all of their time on the treadmills. They are not the people I want to be.
When I was working through a back injury, my physical therapist told me to stay away from them because the "pulling" takes the hammies out of the process and creates a muscle imbalance. He said they are awful for most sedentary people as they are usually very quad dominant from sitting all day. My gym has a track so I can do sprints on that or I can go outside. I won't run on a treadmill.
