How many marathons have you guys run? I've never trained on a treadmill, ask any seasoned marathoner how they train. If you suggest a treadmill, they will laugh at you. Sorry, but this is true.
Properly iced joints and stretches can prevent any injury. The key to any type of training is prep BEFORE training. Stupidity before training replaces itself with injury during training. I've logged thousands of miles running and have no problems with my joints (I receive a biannual physical and another before any major run [20K or more]).

You HAVE to change pace, direction, stride length, and breathing... yes, it all DOES take energy. Training outside prepares you for this...

Personally, I don't run races. Never saw the point of paying someone to tell me where and when to run. I just run for the exercise anyway.

I always run outside because (a) it's more challenging for me, and (b) it's more fun - treadmills are boring. I do run on pavement and, after 12 years of 4-6 miles a day, 5 days a week, I haven't developed any joint problems. I think I've been lucky so far. One day I'll probably give in and buy a treadmill. Or take up swimming

And you still haven't supported your original claim of
It's a given fact that a cushioned treadmill causes less impact on your joints than a paved road. Are there other differences? Yes, but thats not what he asked about. It's not a perfect substitute for running outdoors but it can fill in the time when you can't get outside.
I'd rather run indoors on a treadmill all winter instead of running outside in 20 degree weather and coming down with pneumonia, regardless of what the hard-core marathoners might think of me.

For them, running outside can be as easy as running on a treadmill.

, but the opposite for me... when its 117 outside running is a bit unpleasant.

A friend of mine called today and offered to sponsor me for the NYC marathon this year.

Go buy the book Programmed to Run. The author came to my BUD/S class and gave us a running clinic, which helped me tremendously. I was the slowest runner in my class at the time. Ibecame the top runner 3 months later. I was 5'10 240 back then, running just sucked for me!

I am starting this Sunday. A girl at work wanted me to be her running partner so I said sure. I need to get back in shape anyways. Plus the girls/women that run the trail where we are going to are hot! What sucks is I am more of a sprinter than a long distance runner so I'll probably be dead by the end of the run, but at least I'll die with a smile on my face and sportin' wood. Haha!
