Should it be treadmill or dreadmill? What do you do to make your treadmill experience better? I watch videos as I run on the treadmill to help fade the mundaneness.

It's spring. It should be the deadmill for the next nine months. Go outside instead.0

Dreadmill. I would prefer to be outside, but sometimes I am too much of a weather wimp. On those days, I wear my ipod and/or watch ESPN while running on the dreadmill.0

I've come to a happy medium between tread and dread when it comes to the 'mill. I've found it's a great tool for controlled speedwork. I like to do either .25 per mile at ~.5-1 mph faster than the rest of the run OR I listen to my running playlist and go hard for the chorus of a song and easy on the verses. 3-5 miles fly by on the mill these days!0

If I try that, it would be a Deadmill...lol0 -
It is a valuable tool for me teaching muscle memory in relation to times. It is part of an entire routine so the frequency is only once or twice a week making it a tread and not dread. I listen to motivating music and the time flies.0

I love my treadmill! It is much better for my joints than running outside (though I do when the weather permits). What I do to pass the time is listen to all of the music on my iPod in alphabetical order by album title. Yes, I know this sounds strange but I accepted a challenge on a progressive rock web board to listen to albums in their entirety (which nobody seems to do anymore). I started in September of 2013. I only do this during my workouts. I've just started the letter "I". Yes, I've still a long way to go.0

I sorta prefer the treadmill than going outside to workout. It's kind of monotonous for me anyway, so I can at least just watch a video while working out.0

Uhh it's so boring I refuse. I would rather walk outside in freezing temps.0

It's my warm up before I lift - I prefer to run outside but the treadmill certainly does its job well0

I use my dreaded weekday gym sessions to do some interval training and a fat burner programme. I genuinely find 10 miles outside easier to run than 3 indoors. I need stimulation otherwise I just give up!0

I would venture to guess if you walked this way in a public park you might get arrested, hah0
