Some breaks are necessary, such as breaks due to illness, injury, or pregnancy/postpartum. Sometimes you lose your mojo and need to take a break.
No matter your reason for enjoying the treadmill, you are still a runner even if all of your runs are indoors. Maybe the treadmill is the safest option where you live. You may prefer the treadmill for its convenience. Do not feel bad if you run on the treadmill, as it does not make you any less of a runner. The biomechanical patterns are similar to outdoor running. Despite what some critics claim, the treadmill is still running. You do not have to run outside to be considered a runner. Even ultra-runners will often take walk breaks or hike parts of their races–and no one would think twice about calling them runners. Some runners, even with years of experience, prefer run-walk intervals. Even if half of your run is spent walking, you are still a runner! Run-walk intervals are a great tool for beginners to build endurance. Those walk breaks do not make you any less of a runner. As a running coach, I work with a variety of runners–including runners who take walk breaks during runs.
