The Treadmill or the Track: Is an hour on the Treadmill equivalent to an hour on the track?

A good session at the gym today.

50 minutes on the treadmill listening to a new Paul van Dyk set. Listened to a new Audible version of The Cluetrain Manifesto for the first 20 minutes, but had to switch to music to keep interested.

I haven't seriously used a treadmill for about 5 years, prefering to go out for a run instead, also believing a run outside has a better effect.

But after my 50 minute session there, I'm not so sure. I'm more drenched with sweat than I've been in a long time, and was feeling So High on the treadmill, as one of the PvD tracks kept reminding me.

So which do you find more effective: the Treadmill or the Track?
