Why not the treadmill Medic? I'll be the first to say that they don't give the same workout as road running but the one big advantage for me was that they were a lot more gentle on my knees.

I don't get it

I don't get it A yes, I agree to an extent (although gyms work really well for some folks) but as I used to work in a gym so the kit was free.

I've started running 3 miles a day biking 5-9 miles a day and going to the local gym most days. I also on a Monday night do MMA which is great for Stamina. I also do power lifting like LM123.
Vary Rarely. I bike to work then bike back so thats the cycling done. I go for run either in the morning or evening depending what shift i'm on.And i fit the gym time in wherever possible Oh yeah When i do MMA That's on a Thursday and a Monday so. Then i work part-time on a Friday and Saturday night. I don't really get that much free time but i enjoy all that i do.
Been doing a bit of running recently, have got it down to 2.5miles in roughly 16 minutes. Quite happy with it, think i could get it a bit quicker but it's not a huge priority
See what's the point? I could probably drive that in 4.
