1320 MILES ON A TREADMILL

[@ahmadshakir2057]

I’m a 76 year old who has loved running since 1965, lots of miles on these bones 😅I’ve own a Live Strong treadmill which is my go to when the weather says no no not today. Thanks for the inspiration, I’m not done yet 🏃🏿‍♂️🙏🏾

As I got into my late 20s, I started realizing that I wasn't recovering like I used to. The treadmill not only is easier on my joints and body overall, but it also spares me the absolute misery of having to run outside in the winter. I'm not competitive anymore, but I work full time as a CPA and I am still about 85-90% of my high school PR speed at 30. I feel my best when I am at this level of fitness, so I just keep consistent.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

Glad you found what works for you! 😁😁

[@StoCalculus]

Very similar here, work in quant finance (people aren't very active here), joints are a little rough from the years of studying and long nights so I find the treadmill to absorb the force a lot better on the weaker knees. Heavy squats have worked wonders to build the knees back up too - KneesOverToesGuy I cannot recommend enough if you want the joints to feel healthier again.

[@seanw5944]

As an NCAA athlete, I can confirm that there are MANY benefits to running on the treadmill..especially thru out summer training w/ workouts (tempos), faster ez runs, and even recovery runs (due to the soft surface compared to gravel roads). Great vid, as always!! 🔥💪

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

Totally agree! Thanks!

[@722.fxbien2]

What type of treadmill do you use?I was previously finishing my doubles on a treadmill and it got me injured.I'm curious if its the type of treadmill that I was running on,so thats why Im asking

[@seanw5944]

I have a nordic treadmill in my garage. Since i work a physical job in construction i will always be tired. Just having it just a few steps away from my room is a life saver. Plus having sports induce asthma being inside for the winter is better for me physically and mentally till I have races. 2% incline works for me

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

To each their own! Glad you found a way to get it done.

[@bodybysoul_]

I am a self trained 24 year old runner and although I have run a lot outside, in 2023 I did a large amount of work on the treadmill as for the same reasoning as Yaseen here said, time efficiency. I have went from a strong despair for the treadmill to nowadays it is often a blessing to hop on the treadmill earbuds in fan blowing and just getting in the zone. Initially for me running at 10mph on the treadmill was very difficult even though running on concrete or track the same pace is more moderate difficulty, but eventually I got the hang of it. I personally like a treadmill with .5 incline for some reason feels better than completely flat or 1 incline. Either way, nice video. Peace from Nashville.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

Thanks for watching. Some treadmills I’ll do .5 or 0 if it works better

[@mbs6585]

As a student training inside is amazing, I can study and do my zone 2 or 1 sessions simultaneously.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

I agree!

[@michaelm9871]

I feel guilty for liking the treadmill sometimes, thank you for making this. I prefer to do my long runs on them because I can watch tv or a podcast. They're easy pace so I'm not distracted. I don't have to plot 16-20 mile loops or run a 4 mile loop 5 times. I started on them because I'm also in ATX and got heat stroke this past summer when it was really hot, so I moved to treadmills and found I liked them after acclimating. I still do some runs outside, but also do some on the treadmill. I like doing my tempos outside, but intervals and long runs on the treadmill. Easy zone 2 for shorter distances outside. To each their own. Thank you for making this.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

I do all my runs on the treadmill when I’m in Austin too. You shouldn’t feel guilty I train better when I can just use the treadmill too

[@jefejeffwell1113]

The treadmill was how I managed to increase my mileage. Every single time I crossed 60m/wk, I blew something and couldn’t train for a few weeks at minimum. It sucked. I invested in a treadmill after seeing professionals like Jakob and Mo using them for their sustained paces and decided to give it a shot. Game changing.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

I'm glad you found out what you needed

[@fluorophoremusic3679]

Dude I love the treadmill for all the reasons you've discussed. I ran a lot of my mileage on the mill for my recent marathon prep. For about....I don't know, maybe 75-80% of my 85+miles per week were done on the mill. This included: long runs (upwards of 2.5-3hrs on the treadmill), easy runs..just set at a comfortable jog pace for 60-90mins...tempo runs... even repetition stuff like 800m or 1km repeats. I just really like the ability to set the appropriate paces with ease...have time and distance right in front of me. Some may argue that treadmills are not 100% accurate and/or they don't simulate outdoor running exactly; accuracy of the treadmill is not as important as its validity as a training tool. I use the same treadmill each time I train on one...whatever 10mph is on that treadmill when I set it may be more or less 10mph, however I'm consistently using that same treadmill set to a given speed to elicit the appropriate heart rate or RPE or w.e. response. If it's off, it's consistently off in the same way...what matters is if I'm able to increase the mph number on that treadmill over time without an increase in heart rate or RPE. If you're able to do that (using the same treadmill), you know that you're fitness is improving. Anyway, I doubt it held me back at all for my marathon preparation. I've only been running since September of 2022 and was able to hit a 3hr marathon within about a year of running--a lot of that running was done on the good ol' mill.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

I agree! You’re spot on. People who think it isn’t effective almost always haven’t trained on it extensively.

Love seeing this; currently spend about 60% of my time on my tread, and I love it. Started measuring lactate a few months ago, which is REALLY hard to get right without the controlled environment that a treadmill provides. However, even knowing that it's the right thing for my training approach, I still question myself. Typically because I'm surrounded by a bunch of "anti-treadmill" runners, guys with intentional 10+ year no treadmill streaks. Always makes me second guess whether I can do the same thing outside that I can do on the tread. Seeing your results, I know I can.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

You definitely can, it’s the exact same until you’re getting super race specific and then you can switch to the track or the road or whatever

Did you calibrate treadmill to slightly harder incline or speed to account for a bit of an “easier” stimulus (i.e., it’s moving underneath)? In other words, would 5 min pace on track or road have to be done at 4:55 or 1% grade to make it an even effort?

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

I do unless it feels bad. Most treadmills I do 1% but if it feels weird for whatever reason I’ll put it on 0 and just go faster or go by effort

[@omegplays3656]

People have told me that running on the treadmill isn’t as effective as running outside as the treadmill moves for you so all you’re really doing is bouncing, putting more stress on your joints and stuff rather than making your muscles work. Is this true and did you find this as a problem in your training? Loved your video!

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

No that’s just what people who don’t want to adapt to training methods say. I did all my training on the treadmill in my best season. Those are the same people who want u to run to exhaustion 😂

[@orca3093]

I really struggled to go at my regular pace outdoors on the treadmill and usually needed to slow down 7:30 to 8:15/30. Doing so i lost fitness pretty quick. How should i build fitness on the mill in the offseason? It get basically impossible to run at times during the winter cause of cold and weather.

really? for me the treadmill is easier. My 5km pb is 2 min faster on the treadmill. People say to put it on 1% but If I do that it feels way way harder than running outside at the same pace. I should try 0.5 but this treadmill only has increments of 1

[@orca3093]

I used to run flat but started doing 1 on incline like a month ago when season ended. I did workouts that felt way easier on mill so i think it was just a long transition.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

Sounds like your treadmill sucks. Typically I do 1% but if I’m at home my treadmill is kinda screwy so I do 0%. But if you’re used to it now then guess it was the transition.
