Osu!Bloke, that's the best feature of a treadmill-being able to go faster than you would be able to run outdoors. One summer I had access to a treadmill. I ran 5k's on the machine at a pace only achievable by me outdoors with skates and a tailwind. It didn't improve my real-world running but it was great for conditioning. The tricky part was trying not to get launched off the belt and getting splatted on the opposite wall.
