A member asked:
Is walking on a treadmill at a incline of 8-9 with a speed of 3.5 for 40 minutes better than running at a speed of 5.5 with a incline of 1 for 25 min?

Probably: As brisk walking with an incline for longer period of time is likely expending more energy.

Cross training: Rather than focus on which one is better, ask yourself about your goals. If you are training for sprints and plan to win, then endurance training (longer times like walking the treadmill) will benefit your goal. In general cross training is a benefit, keeps your interest, try new exercises, work different muscle groups.
