I tried this and had to just stick to the treadmill. I just get awful shin splits every time I run on the road.. absolutely fine on the treadmill!
Yeah the treadmills have about 1-2inches to flex when your foot hits the surface unlike roads.
Only downside is the 'road' is moving for you, rather than you having to actually run/walk to push yourself along. The gradient on a treadmill also stays constant. I remember being able to run for 60mins on a treadmill with minimal effort but on the roads i'd be shattered! It does give you false hope lol
