High Speed Treadmill Training

You are still resisting gravity on a treadmill and you most definitely do have to do work and produce force @ ground contact–I don’t see how that is a hard concept. As far as any ‘lack’ of transfer–there are countless examples of mid distance and longer distance athletes with Olympic and WC medals in colder climates that did most of their training almost exclusively on treadmills during the winter months and other times of inclement weather.

I know there is force that is being produced but how much and how specific to actual running. Just because those athletes did it in cold climates doesnt mean they would have if it were warmer.
