The Y has all the Life Fitness treadmills. I don’t know of there is a way to program them to be more “realistic”.
There’s no reason you can’t get good training done on a treadmill. My wife does most of her winter running on the treadmill. She mostly trains for 50K+ trail runs and the training she does on the treadmill works for her. She did the Grizzly
Ultra this weekend and because of the smoke in August a lot of her training was on the treadmill. She did Diaz Vista in the spring and it had insane elevation gains and almost all her training for that was on the treadmill.
