1. It takes a while to get used to it. I've always had some vertigo after the first few times that I've been on it.
2. No cool breeze, unlike in real jogging/running. This makes for more sweat pouring down your face so you'd have to use the towel every once in a while, which could get you off-balance if you're not careful
3. You must obey the speed in the treadmill. If you want to slow down or speed up, you have to push a button, which could also get you off-balance.
4. There's a speed limit! One time I really felt like giving it my all and sprinting at the last minute, but when the meter reached 15 km/hr, it suddenly stopped!
5. Electric shock. Almost all the treadmills I've been on aren't grounded, which means as you run on the rubber belt, a static charge builds up on you and on the treadmill. This built up charge is released the moment you touch the treadmill, which can be quite painful and annoying.

weird... i remember posting a comment here the other day.. but it's not here now.. oh well. yung sabi ko ay:
agree with everything you mentioned. mas masaya talaga tumakbo outdoors. =) in fairness din naman kay treadmill, it fits those who doesn't have time to go out to run. it's convenient to use kasi kahit kelan mo gusto, pede mo gamitin. =)
