Reading Mr Morris' posting leads me on to a problem I am finding when I run on different surfaces, namely that my range changes dramatically...I can put away 8km on my road circuit, an understandably slower 7-7.5km on the gravel of Queen's Valley but can't seem to go much beyond 5.5km on the treadmill although the time is decent. I haven't worked out why there is such a disparity when I move indoors. Any ideas?
p.s Any benefits yet from using the tights Mr H?

The tights are great!
My thoughts on treadmills are that your running pace is out the window, in that the mat turns around at say 11kph. The number of times your feet touch the mat doesn't matter it still does 11kph. Outdoors the only thing that moves is you, so the length of your stride or your frequency of your stride all dictate your pace, so what your run is what you get... if that makes sense...
