The goals of this 50 minute treadmill run is to both break up the boredom by varying the speed AND to introduce you to the incline setting! I hate running hills!! But they are everywhere if you run outside, so might as well get some practice on the treadmill by increasing the incline setting.
This 50 minute treadmill run is broken up into 5 minute bursts of speed. You can walk for a minute to rest in between each 5 minute set, or just move on to the next 5 minute interval. And after you're done with the 30 minutes of running with 0% incline, then the fun really begins!
This 30 minute treadmill workout is perfect for the days when you don't really feel like being on the treadmill and know you probably wouldn't last 15 minutes before you call it quits. It starts and ends with a 5 minute run, but with intervals in between - 2 minutes fast, 2 minutes faster and 1 minute recovery. This run is designed to make you sweat it out for 30 minutes.
Remember, the inclines & speeds are just suggestions, so tailor them to your comfort level - just make sure it's challenging for you.
This 30 minute treadmill workout ain't no easy "walking while you read" workout. It starts out slow to get you in the groove while increasing the incline, but the last 10 minutes is going to have your legs burning. Remember, the inclines & speeds are just suggestions, so tailor them to your comfort level - just make sure it's challenging for you.
In this 50 minute treadmill run, we start playing with increasing the incline setting. Just a little bit at a time. This is especially great if you don't usually adjust the incline on the treadmill when you're running. The basics: run for 2 minutes with no incline, then increase the incline to 2% and run for another 2 minutes. Finally decrease the incline and run for another 2 minutes. Rest 1 minute (if necessary), then increase the speed and do it again! This run was pretty challenging for me, but very interesting.
This boredom busting treadmill run features a tempo run at the beginning followed by sets of intervals - 2 minutes of running at a high speed followed by a short rest for 1 minute before you crank it up again.
