So... are you road, trail, track or treadmill people?

What are your routes like?

Road or trail, depending on what I feel like. I only do treadmills in dire instances (hurricanes, <6 degrees). One mile on a treadmill seems to take FOREVER!! :)

Road with sand! and sometimes trail. I only try to do treadmills as a warm-up for strength training.

I tried to do a beach run once....wow! (I live in the north if the uk, we have the worst beaches) never doing that again, thought my legs were going to drop off after 5k. Roads for me, lovely concrete roads.

Small mountain trail, but it's paved in parts and a landmark in my city. Very pretty in the morning.

I haven't tried Nike+ Running on a treadmill yet, I want statistical credit for my runs and I'm afraid the 'handheld' option without the boon of GPS won't work well-enough. Has anyone tried it?

*edit: Thanks guys!

I tried it for the first time this weekend. It was off by about .25 mile on a 3 mile run, but at the end you can make the adjustments.

I have the nike gps watch and linked it to my shoe pod when I'm on a treadmill it seems to be pretty accurate.

Road mostly, I'm just starting. I want to run some trail events next year so that will change soon.

I'd love to be a trail person, but only know of one in my city. Time, weather and location finds me on a treadmill more than I'd like. Usually you'll find me running around an urban park.
