If you're
bored running on the treadmill and want to improve your strength and speed, you can try using the incline feature on your treadmill and doing some hill workouts. Running hills on the treadmill is safer than running hills outdoors, because it decreases the impact on your knees and hips. And it's a great option when weather conditions or lack of hills in your area prevent you from running hills outdoors.
