Love them or hate them, treadmill workouts are often a big part of a hiker's or trekker's training. And while people can argue the fact that they "don't mimic real hiking", "change your gait" or "have no downhills" (which are all true) - for the pure sake of convenience they are here to stay.

I really believe that, unless you are already a regular runner, running is NOT a great way to train for trekkers... And can really grind you up! So next time you decide to include some treadmill work in your training... Whether is is because it is raining outside, you are short for time or simply just love training in the gym...
