What are you running on?

I've been able to run on a bunch of different surfaces before. Pavement, grass, turf, tracks, treadmills, and sand. All have their pros and their cons.

What is everyone's preferences? I love running on grass/dirt as long as there aren't a bunch of dips/holes all over the place.

Or if you just have general running questions, complaints, etc drop them here.

    I've been training for a half marathon, mostly running on the sidewalk. In the past I would stick to the treadmill because I found it really easy to keep my pace and improve my time. Also not worrying about the weather and temperature each day was convenient. But I gotta say going outside has been pretty nice.

    Mostly run on sidewalks but occasionally hop on the asphalt or grass for a bit. I'd love to get into trail running now that the weather is getting better in my neck of the woods. Just gotta wait for a knee injury to heal first. :stalin-stressed:

    Dirt and grass is best cause lower impact. Just feels so nice and... Natural. If it's shitty outside then treadmills are nice. I can also distract myself from the pain with tv and shit. But generally being outside and having natural stimulation is best.
