Anyway - if its cold - just man up and put an extra layer on. The only time I won't run outside is if its icy and slippy. Other than that - get out there.
This looks like a prime example of a seasonal thread whose themes get repeated several times in multiple threads as the nights draw in. Since you're into your sticky threads, any chance of having one with a practical purpose like this one? A chance to discuss elementary arithmetic, indoor vs outdoor running, debates over whether "the treadmill does all the work for you", how quickly Yaktrax are likely to sell out this year, whether you're still a man if you start wearing tights or tracksters in October... that sort of thing.
What is needed here is one of those old fangled casio digital watches with the mini calculator buttons. Then you can calculate away while on the treadmill. I think I'm going to ask for one for Christmas (a smartphone would be no substitute)
Bear in mind that 6 mins per km is easier on a treadmill than outside (sorry gym bunnies) so if you want to keep up your outside pace, you will have to set the treadmill faster than 10 kph, maybe 10.5 instead.

25 years ago I had a casio watch that stored phone numbers and if you pressed one of them and then held it up to a phone, it would make a dial tone sound and it would automatically dial the number without you having to press anything on the phone. Honestly it was bigger than the internet in those days.

If this is a joke, I don't get it.
Didn't want to make any comments.
You take 6 mins to do a km.
60 divided by 6 = 10.
So that is as Millsy says 10kph.
Dear RW,

Cheers.
Cougie, Maybe buy some spikes to run when its icey and slippy!!
Seriously, It was a geunine question, i do run outside and intend to continue doing so but there will be times when its "safer" to run indoors

thanks for taking the time to reply to my somewhat foolish question
And I'd like to see Cougie thank the Paul for HIS advice too
Paul,

I dont even run outside even in Summer ......... only for races. Just saying....
if your treadmill has a gradient you can raise that and leave the pace at the 10km/h calculated. 1-2% gradient should do
