Treadmill - Running

Start your treadmill and select a speed that takes you beyond a jog and that you could only maintain for at least 10 minutes. Everyone's running speed varies but should average around 10 mph (16 kph).

If your treadmill can increase your incline then set the incline to 1 degree to emulate running outdoors on the flat.

For good technique start with your feet; place your heel down on the forward step rolling through onto your toes as your foot travels backwards.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do pick a speed that pushes you
  • Do keep a heel to toe foot movement
  • Do breathe deeply and in a controlled manner
  • Do keep a good posture and look forwards
  • Don't run flat footed
  • Don't let your feet slap down
  • Don't keep looking down to watch your feet
