The numbers are not very surprising actually. I have always claimed that triathletes are typically more accepting of treadmills than pure runners. Triathletes in general are more interested in gadgets and toys, and in my view a treadmill is part of that. So to have only 23% say they don't do treadmills is thus a reasonable number.
I though would say that simply running on a treadmill while efficient and useful, is nowhere close as engaging as running on Zwift on a treadmill. I am not talking about social group runs, but yes that is cool too, but the very good workouts. I have been doing the Monday Run Club and the Workout Wednesday runs for a while now, and more recently have run the Zwift Academy ones.
I run 70-80 miles each week somewhere around 10-12 runs and i do at least 2 speed workouts or races a week, and no more than 3. The rest of the running is mellow, and it has made me a much better runner at age 55. Basially running close to the speed I had in my late 20s.
