training on a +1 incline on the treadmill is supposed to help replicate outside conditions.
i trained for and ran a marathon last year and i found running outside quite a bit easier because i didn't get bored by my surroundings, i was also getting to hate the sound of the running machine and also the fresh air outside was nicer than the air con in the gym...also i reckon that training outside is better for your legs because all the slight variations in the road surface work all the wee stabiliser muscles and you can avoid RSI problems.
good luck with your run!
