Ha! This is how you know you're starting to go the distance...
Whenever I run at the gym on a treadmill, I just hop on, do Quick Start, and start jogging. I've never had any problems until today, when I decided to stretch out my run to 5.5 miles.
Once I hit the hour mark, the treadmill DEMANDED that I start to cool down and started lowering my speed! I kept fighting it by pushing the buttons to increase my speed. God was it annoying!
Lesson learned - for any longer runs, I need to set the time on the treadmil first!
Oh, and I ran 5.5 miles today in exactly 1:05 minutes

GREAT JOB!!
Its very annoying..the TM at my gym does the same thing. I once ran 10 miles on the TM (crazy, I know!)- I chopped it up into a 6 mile run..stopped it and did a 4 miler.

And just so you know, a lot of gym treadmills have a max of 99 minutes! Very frustrating when trying to train for long runs.

Yikes, how annoying! I felt like I was having a fight with the treadmill, and the guy next to me kept looking over wondering what the hell I was doing  I guess this is my sign that I'm ready to start running outside again... with a friend... IN DAYLIGHT!!

Awwww... thanks  I would LOVE to run with you, but unfortunately I live in the Philly area, so we would have to make a record marathon to make it to each other for a run together

The treadmill at my gym maxs out at 60 mins so when I do a 90 min long run I need to chunk it. It is so annoying
