The scientists who decided to measure the difference came up with the observation that yes, running outdoors does expend more energy.<\/p>\n<p>However, the difference is so minute that it would be insignificant unless you were running really fast. For a mile run in seven minutes or less the difference in energy expended is less than one percent. So you will end up burning a 100 calories for running that mile if you ran indoors or just 101 calories if you ran outside.<\/p>\n<p>The simplest solution is to set the treadmill at a one percent incline and that will compensate for the one percent less energy expended.
