Can You Train for a Marathon on a Treadmill?

1 sources · 1 reports

Coverage has centered on whether treadmill running can support marathon training. Earlier reporting cited Christine Clark, who won the 2000 U.S. Women's Olympic Marathon Trials after training on her treadmill all winter, and CJ Albertson, who ran a 2:09:58 marathon on his treadmill in 2020 before reaching a 2:08:17 marathon personal record. The article also cites Vinny Mauri. The newest report repeats these same examples without adding new figures or dates, so the current state of the story remains the question of whether treadmill training is adequate for marathon preparation, illustrated by these runners' results.
