is this actually possible?

I have found that running on the treadmill actually makes it easier to reach a certain goal.
When I run on the road I'm sure I subconciously slow down if I feel a twinge or discomfort somewhere. On the road I was setting times of around 10mins for 1.5 miles.
On the treadmill however I find it easier. It sets the pace for you, all you have to do is not stop running.
I got on the treadmill yesterday morning, set it at a fast pace and did it in 9.05. I was thinking throughout, "DO NOT stop running, you'll fall off and look like an idiot!"

It's easier because the treadmill is doing half the work for you, when your on a treadmill you don't use your calf muscles, but on the road you do.My advice to you is not to use treadmills at all and stick to running on the road.
