Questions

Why does the treadmill feel easier?

No wind and no hills, and the belt helps you along. Many runners add a small incline to make it feel closer to the road.

Can I do all my training on a treadmill?

It helps in the heat or the cold, but running outside and on hills prepares you better for a race.
