| Treadmill users: What is your treadmill routine?
So for the people who walk/jog/run on the treadmill, what is your routine? Currently I'm doing 6 incline, 6.0 speed for 30 minutes which is 3 miles everyday.

i warm up for about 3-5mins on 6.0 & 2.0 incline. Then once im warmed up i pretty much max out the treadmill at 15.0 for as long as i can hold it moderately comfortable, which is 3ish minutes. Set it back to 6.0. Jog for a min or so to catch my breath. Bring it back up to 15.0 for as long as i can. and repeat. Usually go through the cycle 3-4 times depending on my mood that day. Then usually i would max the incline at, i think 12.0. Set speed at 4.0 for roughly 15mins, again, depending on how my mood is that day.
Whole process is 30mins, give or take 5 mins.
For me, it feels great running at 15.0. it almost feels as if im floating, lol. Feels even better afterwards!

20-30 minutes 3 times a week...
1. steady pace at 7-8 mph
2. 3 minute intervals of 6mph at 6% incline
3. steady pace at 7-8 mph at a 2% incline
Then once a week....i do my long run which can range between 8km to 12km outside.

I do prefer to run outdoors but in this weather the treadmill makes more sense plus I have one at home so it's more practical.

i use to run at a speed of 5 with 0 incline for 3 miles but i can't seem to keep up the speed without my knees starting to buckle so now i run at a speed of 3 with 1.5 incline for 30 minutes (~1.5 miles). it's not very fast but it keeps my pace up without killing me.

Or anyone for that matter, unless they are doing heavy sprints on them.

I love running outside but if I must run at the gym I tend to break it up into two 15 min. sessions so I dont get bored. Also I do sprints but minimal incline.. Sometimes if I dont feel like running I will do a walk on the max incline.

is it really necessary to hit the gym and work on the legs even if you are a long distance runner?
any effective exercises with free weights?

Usually I start by walking quickly for a minute while finding the right channel on the TV lol. I do 5k 4-5 times a week. Depending on how ambitious I am it takes 20-30 minutes. Rarely I really give'r and do it 16-17 minutes. Lost 50 lbs in 5 months doing this and eating better.

I lost 60lbs within a year because of the treadmill and a clean diet. It's amazing how running alone transforms your body and how good you feel overall.
