I am a fan of your podcast. Thank you for bringing us useful and very relevant content about running for beginners. I am a treadmill runner, because where I live in Mumbai its very polluted and roads are bad. Could you ever talk about what it means to run on a treadmill and can you train on a treadmill for a Marathon? ofcourse not 100% but I am sure its beneficial. Hope you hear your views.
