What are the pros and cons of running on a treadmill

I see a lot of athletes out there who avoid them completely and say it's not the real thing. What is the truth and can you explain the science behind it.

it is better than nothing but nothing can replicate running outdoors with elevation, wind, weather and humidity as factors. on a treadmill the bottom is moving and you are staying in the same spot. just imagine if lance armstrong trained for the tour de france in a spinning class.

I run on a treadmill at least 1 time per week, get my high intensity cardio.

Just dont slam your knees into it, learn to jog run not hardcore run.

Treadmills are the only way to run indoors

Not recommended as it harms your legs in the long term....

I prefer to run on grass!

I hate treadmills because I just stare at the clock, lol. For me, running outside is great mental therapy for me.
