Treadmill Training. Got to do it. Might as well embrace the dreadmill.

Eerie Erie 5K 10K Running Tips

This plan, as all plans, is just a recommendation. As with the start of any exercise program, consult with a physician before beginning anything new.

In addition to running, I highly recommend a simple and basic strength training and core training program to supplement your running. Strength training will make your bones, ligaments, and tendons stronger so you can run …For Your Life™

If you have specific questions regarding your training, please contact me. As a certified running coach I might have some tools in my toolbox to help you build a better running style or fitness level.

5K Tip of the Week

Week 3 – Add in those treadmill (aka dreadmill) workouts

– Keep running 3 days a week at least 30 minutes a run/walk and x-train 2 days a week

– Put purpose into your treadmill workouts (4 ways to do that)

  • Flying 40’s
  • Quarter mile repeats
  • Timed intervals
  • Hills

– As daylight and weather changes you can use the treadmill to get faster

  • Beginners- Try 2-3 sets of flying 40’s (40 seconds sprint 20 second recovery)
  • Advanced- Try up to 6 flying 40’s

– Quarter- mile repeats are self explanatory. Run fast for .25 miles then recover .25 miles

– Timed intervals are your choice of time but mix them up to keep your body guessing

– Hills are also self explanatory. Add these into your workouts to get stronger.
