With treadmill running, the ground (surface) underneath your landing foot moves backward, pulling our leg backward fairly hard.
ive was using a pair of £70 nike running shoes and am now using a £110 pair of adidas ones im due to go out tomorrow morning for a run so i'll try and focus on shortening my stride and lean slighty forward...update ones ive done the run thanks for all the advise guys

Seems to me like your only problem 'might' be that you're not used to the great out of doors. I know that I do a lot of winter running on the TM and try to get out at least a couple times per week but don't always.....so when I have run on the TM for a couple week in a row and then go out, I really notice it in my legs, calve and ankles... Try easing in to you run when you start out on the streets...go a little slower and thro in a few walk breaks at first......give your body a change to adjust a little. The TM has a lot of natural cushion and when you're outside, there is a lot of extra pounding......you really need to account for that when you are outside until your body has fully adjusted..
