I ripped off my plantaris years ago doing some karate junk. I rehabbed for a year on the treadmill to control my pacing. Went straight to the road for the same distances at a comfortable pace. My times were slower at first but came back into line quickly.

Thanks Noxious. I was worried that I was wasting my time on the treadmill, but it certainly kicks my butt. I think I'll use a mix of treadmill, water running, track, and road, with limited road to save my feet for race days.

Same here. I'm on the smaller side, have been running on the treadmill with Hokas, outside a bit (when it's not treacherously icy) in Brooks Ghost goretex, and for a week in FL outside in my Saucony Guides. Different drops, different surfaces, didn't seem to have any issue transitioning. Have to say though, after the Hokas (which I don't love) on the relatively soft treadmill, I'm considering one of Saucony's super-cushy new shoes for out on the asphalt. If only they made a Guide ISO...
