There you have it folks. Sir. Mo runs treadmill. What is your excuse!?!
Thank you mate! We appreciate it! I start getting much better now
just came here to say fuck treadmills, its not real running. Also for people who sweat buckets running inside is a myth
WHICH ONE IS BEST SAFEST RIGHT AND EXACT ACCURATE AND INJURY FREE MACHINE
MOTORIZED TREADMILL OR MANUAL NON MOTORIZED TREADMILL
PLZ TELL ME THE VERY BEST SUITABLE GENUINE RIGHT ANSWER MY GOOD FRND TO ME OK
http://www.runnersworld.com/newswire/biomechanics-expert-debunks-treadmill-running-myths
I personally find treadmills easier than running outside. Since the treadmill moves your legs back for you, my quads and hammies rarely get tired compared to doing it outside. One thing i do like is my footstrike on the treadmill, i almost always strike mid or forefoot. Rarely ever heel strike.
living in Ottawa Canada during the winter it gets to -40… I still like to do 1 or 2 runs outside but for speed work and really long runs I have to be inside.. It is easy to get injured in the spring trying to transition from the treadmill to the road without reducing mileage.
I put the treadmill up at 3 for 10 mins, and then increase to 4, for 5 mins, and then 5, for 5 mins, and then drop it down 1, every 2 mins.
before watching the video i was expecting a tim don style..
Thanks for the video sir. I usually use treadmill/ skillmill on winter and on spring/summer and autumn I run outside. Would you recommend treadmill or skillmill?
that shouldn’t technically be the case, with the exception of air resistance. Being a physics grad…. I tend to think of these problems in a certain way thus: Think, what happens if you do nothing on a tread… you just crank it up to 10mph and stand still? what will happen to you? You’ll get thrown back at 10mph into the gym wall. So, to maintain your position you must literally run at 10mph, just the same as if you were on the track running at 10mph…. lets look at it another way then: it matter not that the tread is physically moving back… now your frame of reference is the belt’s velocity… and as far as you’re concerned the belt is stationary and the world is moving forwards…. you must run to keep up with the world. For me this is confirmed, as I am a runner and I know my own pace and what I can do on track / road. With a small incline (accounting for loss of air resistance) my lactic threshold is the same speed on a tread as it is on a track. However, road do give more impact for sure. Of course all this falls down if someone holds onto the tread… it could be regarded as being the same as being towed.
I’ve been stuck on the treadmill for the past month because of the insane heat. And now the next three months will be monsoon and thus difficult again to run outside. This is very time pertinent.
Great video as always. Thanks Sage!
for safety, always attach the safety clip to your clothes as well. otherwise you will end up on one of those viral fail videos were go go flying through a wall
This looks like a great workout. However, I don’t have a treadmill and I live in an area that doesn’t require treadmill running in the winter. What’s the best way to replicate this workout when running outdoors?
he make it look so easy and it is so hard for the normal person-watching this videos should teach us a lesson to do the best we can do because we all know mo is a freak abilitiesmo is a beast mo go mo
Don’t go for a walk or run on the treadmill without the only treadmill safety waist belt.

Mo seems like a super decent guy! Subbed. Would love a vlog into his daily life
First, I want to say we love your videos. They are really helpful. Would love to see you compete at a Spartan. Perhaps Lake Tahoe World Championships where climbing plays to your strength!?? Any interest in that at all? Would be cool to see you take a podium spot.
my partner films free city walk through video’s to walk/run to, (you can see them by clicking my icon) hope you find this to be helpful on your treadmill?
what speed during the interval incline segment, same speed or increase when flat and slower when uphill?
I live in the mountains where there is absolutely zero flat road or trails. For me treadmill is the only way to get flat interval sessions of recovery runs.
Can confirm, trademill running is easier then road running. Source: doing both
He ranked it up to 8.8 m/h and said “just Start it off slowly like that”. Mo wtf bro
I normally run 4 times a week a nice hour and gym 3 times but I hate treadmill only to day I had to go on it because of the bad rain in Sussex. I only lasted 40 minutes �������� woohoo boring I love running near the see at the coast near seven sisters just lovely!!!
I’m about to quit running. Ran all winter, hard running, on my treadmill. Went outside and couldn’t make it a mile without stopping. WTF!?!? I ran all winter to avoid “starting over” this season. Would love your input Sage.
He makes 12mph look like a jog holy shit im sprinting at that speed!
I do 4% for an hour or 3% for 1 hour 20 min. Judging by my sweat is freaking hard. I have been doing this for the last year everyday.
How can I add the elliptical and the stairstepper machine in my workout for a ultramarathon hills from 50 miles up to 100 miles I have until the end of October to get ready for the race. I’m 55 yrs young and the terrain is mostly flat here. I’ve been running on the treadmill for the pass 3 months but I get outside when I can. I just need some help on my training can please email me with your comments.
themelchaz63@ gmail.com thank you.
There’s a guy standing behind you looking out the window doing sign language!
Whose idea was to make the treadmill face the wall?? fuck that…
Hurts to watch lol, lot of mental strength needed as well to get through that
my tread is not the most confidence inspiring. For one if you run without touching the side and then you touch the side again you get electrocuted (extra motivation?)… plus its freaking small so you need to touch the side because there very little margin for error. Keep you fit though… but running holding something isn’t natural.
Part of the issue with running is if you’re going out you have to really watch what you eat (atleast i do)… otherwise you find you need to toilet pretty quickly (usually a few miles in), which is pretty nasty! A tread you can step off any time… so its not too bad for getting in the miles. But at 9 miles per hour on my tread and it feels scary because its too small!
Good advice. 90% of my training is on the TM now and running performance has improved. Usually just run 1k faster on the TM to match outside effort ( heart rate). Look for TM’s with good scenery. Favorite run is my long run that overlooks an extensive outdoor market.
I absolutely DESPISE the treadmill, even though it’s a necessary tool for my personal trainer to use to assess my weekly progress. We usually run Mondays, but recently he’s been trying to push me out of this plateau I seem to be on, which we both know is normal for athletes. I’m stuck on it, and I’m having to be patient, but I hate the fact that I cannot seem to pin the same momentum and motivation I once had for running on the damned treadmill. Don’t get me wrong, in March 2018 I was running maxed out on a speed 7.5, any more than that and I’d suffer. But now, I can comfortably hold 8.5 for a good half hour, 9 up to 13 for shorter distances. But for the past two weeks, I’ve freaked out on the treadmill as soon as my body starts to feel pain. I know I’m plateau and I need to strengthen and consolidate what I already have, but I’m really beginning to struggle mentally with it all and I want to have the same personal bests. I have a race in seven days, and as I’ll be registering on the day, I can decide to do either 5 or 10 miles. Everything in me wants the 1,5 hour 10 miles, because I will feel crippling guilt if I go for the 5 miles… but if I don’t do the 10 miles in 1,5 hours, I’ll also feel crippling guilt. And it’s worse because I CANNOT RUN ON THE DAMNED TREADMILL AND FRANKLY IT’S SOUL DESTROYING.
hi mate,
as i live in a polluted city as Beijing is, i’ ve got one at home and i solved many problems.
usually i warm up inclining 1 point every two minutes up to 15, then when i put it back down and press to top speed it seems to be too slow.
is that normal?
I train 80% in treadmill at the gym and only 20% on the road or track because of the extreme hot weather here in Monterrey, Mexico, it is very hard to go out to run at 7pm with 39°C (102°F) but yeah I always put 1% incline on the treadmill, it is hard I’d have to say, there IS a difference, but then when I have a road race (they are usually very very early here at 6am or 7am tops to avoid running in the hot weather) I “kick ass” and have no problems at all and sometimes I do improve my PRs regularly. Question: when doing intervales example 7×400 do you recommend still using the 1% incline? is kinda difficult to sprint with incline.
Thanks for the video! For me Chiang Mai gets too hot for running this season, and most years I lose so much fitness between March and September. This year I bought a treadmill and I’ve been hitting it hard every day (for me) in aircon with a fan and large screen TV. I feel like I am fitter than ever and can hardly believe what I can do on the treadmill, which makes me a bit nervous about moving back out to the trail next week I’ll try the HTT track and see if the treadmill has worked. I probably should have been using a 1% incline though. Keep the videos coming!
I always though running on a treadmill should be easier, but I can run quicker on the roads. Give me a country road, some rain, and wind if you have to, all day long. Another plus is you don’t have someone stood behind you waiting for you to get off the road after an hour! Great videos btw.
I usually run for 2 miles start off with 9 mph then about at half a mile I go to 10 mph then when I hit one mile I got at 10.5 mph and finally at a mile and a half I go 11 mph.
thanks for the nice video. it will help me alot to do the treadmill workout again. great job
Zach Miller beat Sage Canaday, Rob Krar and Max King at Lake Sonoma 50 Mile 2014 training mainly on a treadmill while working on a cruise ship, it can be done. That said nothing beats the real thing! I usually ran at a 2% incline, it’s also less noisy when you foot makes impact.
Couldn’t even complete the warm up. But shows me how much work do I need tho. Not sure if I should work on this routine regularly.
Sounds very sensible you do not need to follow exactly what is suggested but the thought behind this was great break it up and build gradually. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the advice and information. I just cut 2 minutes and 12 seconds off my 5K time. I think my posture is much better, and my calves don’t cramp as much on longer training runs.
Another great thing about a treadmill is for progression runs,as your pace can be gradually lifted and won’t deviate
How to breath in 1600m race sir…how iam clear 1600m race in 4:30min.
Yes the treadmill should be used for steady training not sprinting from the start and tire out and injure yourself for likes on the internet. The treadmill is such a abused and sometime overlooked piece of equipment which stood the test of time compared to most fads.
Hi Mo, I discovered something awesome recently, my flat out 5k time on a treadmill was 20:30 and when I decided to modulate the speeds from 17kmh for 5 mins the 3 mins 14.5, 2 mins 17, 3 mins 14.5 etc etc I immediately got down to low 19 mins! The 14.5kmh 3 mins zones acting as a recovery phase helped me hang on. Is this a recognised way of running? After a year of no improvement I improved by over a minute in a week!!
great video, I’m in the dreadmill group I never use them as they are boring to me. That said there are benefits, just like turbo training on the bike. Interval sessions are the best treadmill workout IMO
I want to run a faster 2mile. Do you have some training advice to run a faster 2mile without exhaustion at the end.
I’ve been using a Treadmill in an altitude chamber at 2900m, how about that?
Wow he did great, what a fast pace, good man Tyler, nice one mate.
Thank you very much for sharing your insight, as an aspiring distance runner and adaptive athlete I’m finding this channel very useful in making tweak into my training regimen so thank you again!
Can I use this to improve my cardio. I play football and I want to feel less exhausted after runs. Can I also use a treadmill to increase speed.
what do you think of michael johnsons idea of black americans being good sprinters cos of the slave trade?
in my opinion slaves would have had stamina not muscles and speed.
so michael johnson is WRONG.
First I did run from 8 to 9, 10, 11.5, 12.5 and I had 5km’s in 27 minutes. Now, I wanted to achieve 5km’s in 24 minutes and started right the way from second 1, running 12.5, so that I could reach my goal in 24 minutes. Very bad idea, I stopped right the way after 4 minutes running 12.5 without any warm-up. I will do it today again, I will do it as I did it the first time but better and follow your example. Thanks mate!
I use now with ZWIFT running (iPhone, appleTV, POLAR Bluetooth foot pad). Super cool, run aleady a couple of hundred k,s. Sometimes Even with Friends
It’s me Alok from India….m really lucky to watch you giving so interesting information about running & many more…..my question is I want to loss 5 kg of weight.. how much should I run in a day.
That’s a nice treadmill. Will try the.5 incline and see if that helps the vibration. Thanks Mo. Great Respect. ✊��
1:30 how in the world is that 9.3 on the treadmill? he looks like he’s doing an easy jog.
He jogs 9.3mph as if it was 5mph…!!! LOL that’s how I look at 5mph! LOL OMG! Ridiculous fitness lol
Brilliant video, thanks a lot! Recently been forced to run more in the gym than outdoors but this made me feel a lot happier about it!
I’ve been running now for 11 years on and off. But since November 2017 I got deeply back into it. I set a new self-record last Thursday and today. 4.50 miles in one hour on the treadmill as high as a single treadmill session goes. And believe it or not, that’s pretty easy for me. I want to push from 4.5 speed to 5.0 speed soon. Most of running is all mental. My calves are huge and rock solid. I’m also a big guy and every person running on the treadmill at the gym doesn’t nearly at all come close to running 60 minutes like me. I think the highest I saw a guy run was 20 minutes. And nowhere near the consistent speed I run. This guy in the video definitely inspires me. I’m going to turn it up soon to 5.0 speed. I love running. Like Bruce Lee the worlds greatest known martial artist once said “Running is the ultimate test of physical fitness”
Treadmill running is really good in college I only ran on a treadmill and only run out side the day before the race and I raced so fast over the summer and still to this day will run on a treadmill ones a week. They are the best things ever. I like them for long rides and runs off the bike. So I don’t have to think about what food to bring with me its all load out on the treadmill
Mo farah i need some tips,if i new long distance runner what the speed i have to maintain
I do many different types of workouts per week and I do jogging on TM 2 or 3 times a week. I am still a bit overweight. So I am trying to add the running because I know I burn more calories and it is fun to me to run. I wonder if u have any ideas how to get my knees and feet to not get sore since I do lots of other exercise through the week. I lift weights, HIIT, and aerobics, step, and bootcamp. I find the running is not as hard on my knees and feet as the other things. Can’t I do the jog and still lose weight if I do the steady state for 30 minutes? Because I do go a bit faster here and there. But for now I can only do 4.0 up to 6.0 for now but wondered if that is okay for now?
#1 I feel i have to work a lot harder on treadmill for same pace.
#2 i feel that i cover a lot of distance air born because of momentum that you don’t have on treadmill.
Nice and easy, 12.5 miles per hour. Lol. I think the treadmill raised the white flag.
He didn’t look like he ran any faster even though he ran faster. Now that’s awesome
Brother play share video on runing foam,, like how to run properly
Treadmills are as boring as ellipticals and exercise cycles You do it for 5 minute you will feel like you are done there is no motivation for you to keep going whereas if you walk 1 mile on road now you forced to go back 1 mile even if you don’t want to having said that treadmills are only good when for any reason you are unable to go outside….
Juat start off nice and slow… Puts it at 10mph.. Lol. God mode engaged.
Mo’s coach Alberto Salazar is a big believer in treadmills and has written a book about treadmill running. Salazar used to run about 1/2 of his weekly mileage on treadmills in prep for his Comrades win.
Would be great if health facilities could realise that runners don’t want to look at a blank wall when running! A mirror is a good distraction, you focus on your breathing and on the improving physical form rather than the numbers and how many more minutes of physical discomfort are left to endure!
i think running on a treadmill is very effective, i ran my first half marathon yesterday in 7 years its was my first big run in 7 years, but you have to know how to use the treadmill, i always start on 10 km with an incline of 5% for 15 minutes, then 12 km on incline of 2% for 20 minutes then 12.5 km on a incline of 1.5% for 25 minutes
Not a fan of treadmills, much prefer large human hamster wheels:p
my partner films free city walk through video’s to walk/run to, (you can see them by clicking my icon) hope you enjoy them.
Hi gtn how many times you do the intervals? 2 or 3 or more?
Keep up the good work ����
You didn’t do the math in your head too well 5 mph is a 12 minute mile. Other than that, a great video. I never thought to do dynamic warm-ups on a treadmill, but it’s a perfect addition.
been running for a couple of years without the incline. I don’t think that 1% helps but it depends on where you need that help. I can run the same distance, if not more with what feels like the same effort even less effort at a faster pace many times while running outside if I’m being honest. I do run longer distances though 8 miles every day on a treadmill (64 minutes) or outside, mostly on a treadmill. Perhaps for competitions and efficiency, a small incline would help break a PR but I don’t run for any of that. I run for fun and I like how I feel immediately after my long runs.
I can do sprints as fast as I can but I can’t run or jog longer that 3 minutes????
One of the greatest benefits to the treadmill is that it has low impact. Consequently it gives your legs time for recovery from the road.
He looks like a skinny alien from outer space, brilliant athlete though
I’m too big to run on my treadmill. I have to walk. But the results are not great. I walk at a pace of 5.
Thanks for all your video’s the help a great deal had a great full marathon last weekend 3:04:25 8th overall not my best but it was a swirling windy day (24 mph) so I’m happy, ran strong and at no point did I think I wasn’t going to finish. Big assist to you and your channel for all the information.
”Many miles later” Haha you must run 1min mile pace, unless the clock is in slowMO ;p.
I wanted to add this personal story. I am a guy that has struggled with my weight for 17 years. (Before that I was a shredded 5-10 170 lbs. After my college basketball career ended I gained weight and maxed out at 240. Around 2007 I got into runing heavy both on the road and treadmill. I got addicted to the treadmill and was running 30 miles a week minimum (at 0 incline) and got my road race times to low 7’s per mile as a result. I also lost 50 lbs. Long story short I understand the treadmill at 1% theory and it is true for real runners and I assure you I am not. For someone like me I felt it more beneficial to have the grade at 0 and even at a decline at small periods for recovery. By doing this I was able to run much longer thus burn More calories, thus improving endurance and losing weight while getting faster too. I’m sure most professional runners do not agree but I’m just telling my success story. It took me 2 months to lose 40 lbs and another 2 to lose the other 10. Unfortunately fast forward to now 8 years later and I have no self control eating and I ballooned back to 230 and have to repeat this process again.
That’s nice, I was just wondering about this, because I want to improve my sprinting speed.
I hate working out at a pleb gym where you have old fat people walking 2mph all day. Home treadmill workout or a decent gym would be no problem for winter mileage
does anyone have any breathing tips while running? i would be able to run longer on there but i can’t because i don’t have a stable breathing pattern
I never thought about leaving it running during the rest. That is a great idea, I always worried about a possible discrepancy between what I did and the treadmill distance, because it starts counting at the pace you set automatically, ticking by faster than the warming up belt.
first tip from an olympic athlete about running in a treadmill should be…just don’t do it!
Surely the major advantage of treadmills has to be the low impact element, I’m 6’5 about 100kgs but a fast runner, much over about 50kms a week knocks my body around.. At 42yrs and battling an Achilles injury over the last 10mths and I’m turning to the treadmill to get the Kms in
I do 80-90km a week on the road with few issues, but ten minutes on a treadmill, even at an easy pace, hurts my knees. If I push through and do my usual easy run distance of 10-12km, I get injured. Why is that? I don’t think it’s my form, because I’ve had gait analysis and gait coaching on a treadmill. I wonder if it’s the softness? There are multiple studies that show cushioned running shoes put more loads through your legs compared to minimalist shoes, so is it that effect?…
If run on the treadmill for years and just little tips like that incline to protect the knees is gold dust. I find I get more calf soreness on the treadmill compared to running on the road, anyone else?
Hey mo, do you take sundays off or do you run 7 days a week?
I got hurt running on a treadmill a week and a half ago. Still recovering and haven’t been able to run since. I’m too scared to go back on it.
I’ve just bought a treadmill due to crap weather we are having here at in the uk. no idea what I doing as I’ve never run on one before. But this video really helped!
plz I want to practice 5km run give complete training program and diet
You should target the world record for treadmill half marathon. It’s right in your wheel house.
At 1:37 he says km pace and pointing at 6:27 which is over 10min mile
Your speaking intonation and tone etc sounds like the filmmaker Philip Bloom! Thanks for the video tutorial!
My city looks like this

Do you run on the treadmill during the winter? Let us know in the comments below ��
Keep up the great treadmill workouts they come in handy in Las Vegas running when its 105 outside aint gonna happen. Thanks for the content
I’m so glad I found you guys. You’re so creative and definitely help keep the running game interesting. I really wish you guys had a group in Los Angeles, but if you ever decide to expand down here I would love to volunteer for such a positive and encouraging group.
The thought of running 5 minutes at 8% grade makes me want to cry.:-0
Spoken like a true flatlander from NE Texas. My upcoming half marathon has a few long steady hills and I want to OWN them. I’ll definitely be incorporating this workout into my repertoire of dreadmill sessions.
I always have the incline at 1 or 2 at least on the treadmill
I am new to workout and gyms, when I go on the treadmill, I get bored to death, I get so bored that 15 minutes feel like 15 hours. I wonder if this is normal, or that I just have not learned to be patient. Also I get very irritated. I think I don’t like not occupying my mind with something.
Why I cannot run for more than 1 minute. I go with 2 to 3 times. Can you suggest me
I think your treadmill is not good enough. It’s not stable and shakes when you run on it.
I hate treadmills..I fell off one once…not a good day for me
I always find it much harder to run on a treadmill. A 10 min mile is difficult on treadmill, but I run 7:30 easy on a road??
I have a TV in front of me and keep it tuned to Treadmill TV on YouTube or catch up on new releases on Netflix.
This passed winter I did treadmill training instead of not running due to Canadian winter. I just don’t enjoy being out in the cold with ice and snow. It did improve my running and now I’m using a treadmill for interval training mainly as the weather is getting nicer
Neuromuscular coordination? You’ve declared that without offering reasonable rationale as to why it’s in any way necessary. How’s that different from say walking? It looks like a cool session, but don’t oversell it.
Wouldn’t the extra cautioning in the treadmill slow you a bit?
As much as I dislike the treadmill, I may have to try some of these. Running outside during the hot, humid summer in the South is pretty miserable. Any tips for running in the heat?
I do 80-90km a week on the road with few issues, but ten minutes on a treadmill, even at an easy pace, hurts my knees. If I push through and do my usual easy run distance of 10-12km, I get injured. Why is that? I don’t think it’s my form, because I’ve had gait analysis and gait coaching on a treadmill. I wonder if it’s the softness? There are multiple studies that show cushioned running shoes put more loads through your legs compared to minimalist shoes, so is it that effect?…
I tend to experience considerable heat on my feet from running on a treadmill for any longer than 30 minutes. I touched the belt after running after an hour, and it was pretty hot. That heat radiates through my shoes up to my feet. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around that?
Due to travel/work, I’m a fairly heavy treadmill user. I agree with your points. The heat often makes a treadmill harder work vs. outside. I no longer 1% for this reason. Also agree it works best for tempo workouts. 1km intervals are ok too; anything shorter doesn’t work for the reasons you mention. The one problem I’ve found is the potential for repetitive use injuries on anything longer than 1hr-1hr15. The treadmill is so flat, so smooth, that you never need to adjust your stride I think this lack of variation makes injury more likely for long runs.
I used to hate treadmill but I have learned to embrace it. The consistent pace has helped my running I think. I need music though.
Which hoka shoe do you recommend that is good with a lot of cushioning for the concrete and is affordable?
my first half marathon I ran in 1h 49 on the road by practicing only on the treadmill there is still good odds
Nice! I posted one here as well, for hill sprints. https://youtu.be/O-ZtpL0r3f8
I have always found running on treadmills to be a more difficult perceived effort than running outside. I’ve always found this curious because all of the science dictates otherwise. I’m also curious if the “1% rule” really only applies to 5-6min/ mile paces, and how it changes based on speed.
Finally, I do a lot of vert in training but still find when I do tempo runs at incline and base the pace off of online calculators/ metabolic equivalents, the steeper grades still push me past my perceived effort for what I know tempo runs should be. Does this mean I just need to keep training for climbing? What are your experiences Sage?
You have the 1% incline mostly because there’s no air resistance when you run inside, as your body doesn’t move relative to the air. When you run outside, you will feel the air resistance even when there’s no wind, since you are moving relative to the air. The force on you from the air is proportional to the speed squared.
For intervals I leave the belt spinning & step off the treadmill between sets. Not ideal, but better than changing speed all the time
Walk 2 min jog 2 min for 20 min i just started jogging again after 10 years off
Due to traffic and weather, it is difficult where i am to train on the road enough. I’ve just started using a treadmill and it seems like a good addition to add more training hours and ‘mileage’ to my program without being too high impact, and it also takes away any excuses for not training e.g. if I only have spare time in the hottest hours of the day no excuses. Also finding it beneficial for doing tempo runs where otherwise people traffic would prevent me from maintaining a consistent turnover.
Was just about to hit the gym for a running session on the treadmill as I saw this pop up. Definitely going to try it out. Great work as always, Mark!
Mo Farah says on his own youtube channel to set a treadmill to 0.5% so I’m gonna stick with his advice over 1% in this video
I used to hate the thought of using a treadmill…until i had a day that was too icy to run on the road for a long run and just went for it and completed 2.5 hours and have loved all subsequent runs on there.
I run on the treadmill in interval and Performance session during winter spring summer and fall
Sir can you give 1500m workout or anybody is there please send me on my email address-msp878787@ gmail.com please
I live in interior Alaska. With raw temps (no wind) dropping below -40F and colder in the winter, a treadmill is the best way to train.
The treadmill can be boring, but if you play some music very loud in the room then it can be better than running on the road. I will start running on my treadmill because I want to play football at the sports club instead of running long distances.
as yoo get older, less pounding is good, lengthen your running carrer, goood points curious about linking a race altitude program to a treadmill
Outside is definitely the best way.. another great work out is running on the beach
It’s odd I find it a lot harder running on a treadmill, but that might just be mentally, as I find running on a treadmill awfully boring:)
This can’t be acure. This guy is A 2″17 marathoner. If this is real, this guy would be a Sub 2″11 marathoner At worst a sub 2″13
That’s an awesome video on treadmill Running.This help everyone to accrue the actual knowledge about running.
Hi i am Ifteakar and am designer and if you are a runner and you need a awesome custom t shirt for your running session then feel free to contact me on this link: http://bit.ly/2QuzgGT
Just started jogging/running recently after a 40 pound weight loss. Is a 12 minute mile alright for a beginner? And what ways should I improve my workout?
I would love more tips on running form! I am learning SO much from you and want to be the most efficient runner I can be!
Great tips……as we’ve come to expect ����. I’ve run 20kms on the tready in a session & find it to be great brain training for observing ones thinking as we fatigue. I’ve also used it to progressively push myself to a 19 minute 5km @ age 64. I do much of what you advise Nate but will do more. Thanks heaps ��
I like the way you say 20miles or 18 miles as simple as that
What I found that helps with staying on the treadmill physically is a basic breathing technique. I make sure to take a deep breath at the start, and then shallow-quick breaths in between. After I start to get a little tired, I take a deep breath again. I can’t explain it perfectly but usually when you take a deep breath, you will find that sometimesyou can inhale completelybut sometimes you won’t be able to. At times you fully inhale it boosts your indurance, and as you practice, it will allow you to stay at longer durations. I’m not sure if it works for everyone, but I find it really helps for longer runs.
Great runner but man is he pounding his feet into the ground in the beginning. Ouch
I find running on the treadmill just as hard due to the heat indoors.
It’s been pouring in Texas so no running outside for me:( Treadmill it is!
It kinda looks dangerous to be getting back on to a fast paced treadmill speed?
He is running cool if his km pace is 3:01. I look like I am sprinting when I run at that speed which is nearly 20 kmh
Amazing tyler!!!!! just a quick question. for someone that is 5.4 in height and doing a 6:30 mile is it possible to get to a 4:50 mile?
