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. |
a guy at my work does slow walking on treadmill for an hour, then an hour and half next workout day etc.. he says that helps cut faster.. i know its bullshit.. HIIT is the best.. but its working for him, hes pretty ripped. |
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. |
^^ Im prepared for the cold and rain. With the cold gear...running in the rain is just as fun. As for snow....not so much. |
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. |

i just do quick start for 15 min ( when i do cardio lol ) |
about 10 minutes at 6-6.5mph as a warm up before lifting my cardio comes from sports. |
^same I do 10 mins as well. |
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. |
Anyone run 10kms/ half-marathons / marathons?? |
I'm working myself up to do a 10km marathon in Spring. I have a few friends and coworkers who do marathons. |

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? |
Man.....i just finished an awesome run.... Starting Point: Costco Richmond > Oak st. bridge > Oak st. > False Creek bike path >Burrard Street via Burrard St. bridge > Robson Finishing Point: Waterfront Station 14km, pace 6.3km/h uphill mainly. |
i do 5 min warmup at 0 incline and 3.5mph then 1 minute sprint at 9mph, 2 minutes at 4mph, and 2 minutes at 2.5mph, then repeat the 1-2-2 cycle until maybe 20-25 minutes. |
-warm up 3 mins walking at 2mph -5 mins or so jogging at 5-5.5 mph 4% incline -interval sessions of 2 mins at 6.5mph at 6.5% incline, 1 minute 2mph at 6.5% incline (12 mins total or so ) -5mins 7-8mph at 0% incline -2-3 mins of cool down at 2.0mph all done in 30 mins |
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. |
