I've read that it will help with speed, and is just an awesome workout. Plus, my first 5k had a hill and I had to walk up 75% of it. I was super disappointed that I couldn't run up it. #2 It's going to be raining soon. And right now I just don't feel comfortable running in the rain. I never have the time to go to the gym, so I'll be canceling that membership once the contract ends. I do love running outside, but I did buy a treadmill for 2 reasons.
