Just curious how running a 5k on a gazelle compares to running one on a treadmill. Just as good for you cardio wise?? Just did one in 43 min and am going to try to improve on that over the next month. Can you log say an 8 min mile on that machine?

    I bought a Gazelle the beginning of the year and love it! Around that same time, I started running for the first time and since then have ran 2 5K's. From my experience, I found that the Gazelle was much easier and even though I got a good workout from it, I feel that running is much harder and provides better cardio workout. I think this is because when you run, you have to support all your body weight, wheras the Gazelle supports the majority of your weight.

    Both are great workouts and they certainly beat sitting on the couch. Hope this helps and best of luck to ya! :)
