Can we do this on treadmill or better outside? I typically test outside but with the recent cold snap I'm having 2nd thought. Any input anyone? Thanks for your time.

Yes, you can test on a treadmill. The deciding factor should be making the test venue repeatable. If you do the first test on the TM, then subsequent tests should be on the TM. If outside, use the same 5K course.
Personally, I've always tested outside because I don't like running on the TM at race pace.

That's what I thought as well @Derrek Sanks .Just wanted another opinion. Thanks.
