[quote=Anonymous]Downhills are bad for knees. I’ve always used a slight uphill on the treadmill because it feels better on my knees, and also because a one percent incline on treadmill supposedly offsets the loss of wind resistance in terms of effort. Zero incline isn't negative incline, it's just easier than zero incline outside because there is no wind resistance. Fwiw, I did nearly all my training for a ten miler on a treadmill after having a baby. I had the tm at 1 percent incline. During the mostly flat race, I felt as though I was running downhill the whole time because my muscles were used to the slight uphill. For race training, I mix up the incline. Zero incline on a treadmill is still better than any downhill outside where knees are concerned.[/quote]
