Safety cord? Muahaha Its the fear of getting sucked up into the treadmill that keeps me going.

[@CapaLotGlo]

#1 Rule On Running On Treadmills Is Have A Good Song Can't Tell You How Important that is

[@brittneyswanson8448]

That clip of heather holding onto the treadmill cracks me up!! See it all the time at the gym.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Oh don't we all ;(

[@universeusa]

I love it. Thanks!

[@encountergaming2347]

THANKS A LOT THIS MAKES DOING TREADMILL A LOT INTERESTING AND SOME THINGS YOU SHOWED WERE ALREADY DONE BY ME SO THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP

[@gurya]

Great tips thanks. I am doing the running workouts on zwift whilst watching Netflix. Going great

[@heatherfell_oly]

That really is multi tasking!

[@RareEmerauld86]

Couldn't help but notice your treadmill screen there. My local gym has the exact same treadmill and I was never able to do past 10.0 in speed 😵 Yours says 14.0! Time for me to really push it. Thanks for the inspiration and tips!

[@giorgiaprivitera7429]

i cant go past 8 :(

[@bendtherules0]

can attest that varying your pace Keeps things interesting!

[@Sutlore007]

My way of running on a treadmill is focusing on numbers and statistics. I love looking at those real time records I made.

[@andrewthornton6192]

3:52 seeing walking(marching) backwards makes me cracking up, but not as much as the Monty Python walk at 5:52 Walking backwards is brilliant, used for rehab to increase neurological pathways, even shown to benefit non rehab programs!

[@bean4848]

Peloton treads are crazy money...I use the app for the classes and they definitely push me more than I'd do on my own.

[@nortonkelly8460]

by the looks of HR when i run i need to improve my aerobic base, does this mean long slow steady state cardio keeping my HR to a certain max?

[@lucianofezza2698]

Nice video!!

[@jonathanzappala]

I used to watch TV, now i'm usually far behind on youtube videos I watch that. Wednesday night seems to be a common treadmill night, perfect for the GTN Show! It is still drudgery though. I could never do more than 6 miles. Usually I only do 3-4.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Have you tried mixing the pace? Makes such a difference!

[@jonathanzappala]

Heather Fell sometimes I’ll do intervals. I’d do more hills, but my basement ceiling is so low I can’t do more than 2% without tipping my head down. Don’t get me wrong, it still beats running outside in the winter weather.

[@AberHangie]

Do your training on Rollers, if you get ones with resistance and stick on a Power Meter it even works with Zwift. Much more engaging, builds smoother pedal stroke and bike skills.

[@user-zj8hq8un3h]

[@beans9298]

Peloton running classes on the ipad are a game changer for treadmill running 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stevemc522]

LynyrdSkynyrd free bird tempo nice and steady then bang the tempo kicks up a notch a great running song

[@nathanjones5176]

ahh yes, a man with good taste in music.

[@bikeanddogtrips]

talking about fast cadence, i was reviewing your stats on strava for the bath half last week heather and somehow ended up looking at emma pooley's - mistakenly thinking i was viewing a 2020 run for her (was actually last year's). He average cadence was in the high 190s spm with a lot above 200 steps per minute

[@heatherfell_oly]

She has an impressively high cadence for sure.

[@ericpeavey]

I mounted a little 24” TV in front of my treadmill and watch running scenery videos on KZbin.

[@MegaDreamOo]

Guys I am planning to buy a new treadmill, any suggestions?

[@theshreddedmusician5]

Nice. I posted a hill sprint workout on my channel for anyone looking for a challenging hill sprint workout

[@SanthoshKumar-qw2ms]

Can you help me out Hill workout in Treadmill.

[@theshreddedmusician5]

Santhosh Kumar you can see a video I posted. I show hill sprints, and me putting in the work

[@jameswatson5380]

Cadence matching music.. haha what are we going to listen to? Gabba? Fit and deaf

[@trailrunningphoenix6645]

Nice! hey if you want to see more running, you can see new adventures on my channel! Awesome new places, new people and a lot of fun!

[@keithedwards5185]

Good timing with the video ,the gyms are closed.

[@jamesd5241]

Very important info at 3:22

[@Pandacardindia]

U perv 😂

[@RobManser77]

Does anyone else find that treadmills hurt their knees? I run 75-80km a week on the roads without any great problems, but ten minutes on a treadmill and my knees start hurting. I warm up as usual, and my cadence is the same.

[@Futileporkscratching]

I had this a little while back too, for me I found I wasn't engaging my core giving me an anterior pelvic tilt on the treadmill which wasn't an issue when running outside. I kept my core engaged and shortened my stride length a little and the knee pain hasn't come back.

[@rolandsequeira]

An elliptical trainer is a great alternative and equally or more effective method than a treadmill which is easy on the joints.

[@RobManser77]

@@rolandsequeira Sadly they give me instant back pain. I’ve had quite bad back problems since my teenage years. Running is fine, but elliptical trainers are an instant no.

[@Pandacardindia]

OK my safety cord is attached 😂

[@heatherfell_oly]

Good good :)

[@taylor1991]

Has to be zwift. The foot pod is bloody cheap

[@washedup_adventurer]

must be nice to have the luxury of owning a treadmill at home

[@RobManser77]

Paleotango We’ve rented one for winter. It’s expensive, but obviously much cheaper than buying one. They dropped it off and will pick it up for us.

[@followerofthekoronecult]

Paleotango there are budget treadmills out there, you don’t have to get high-end ones like these

[@stevemc522]

Must be a luxury to have a computer ,iPad ,iPhone to write a comment on KZbin

[@followerofthekoronecult]

@@stevemc522 must be a luxury to live and breathe on earth.

[@washedup_adventurer]

@@stevemc522 Yes, indeed it is. wealth and its luxuries are quite relative. for many years I was a teacher, and living in poverty. Some of my students had more "luxuries" than myself, some had significantly less. I'm very happy I left that position. I still haven't dug myself out of the hole of all those years working below the poverty line, but I'm working on it; education of our youth be damned!

[@kaisvlog8358]

your voice is cuteeeeeeeeeeee.

[@fatgirlonbike7153]

Sorry guys, but who has Access to a treadmill right now?! Probably just a few Lucky ones

[@kenchung2675]

FatGirl onBike .......... I hear ya. Even if I could afford one, I can’t just go out and get it. Everywhere’s under lockdown. 😢

[@SRobinson1485]

FatGirl onBike i have one at home aswell as a turbo trainer for the bike

[@stephenatkinson7956]

They can be expensive, but I found as a walker, all I used at the gym was the treadmill ... so cancelled the membership and invested in one. Best decision ever!

[@simonc8265]

Um... Playing ticket to ride on the iPad?

[@anj1300]

Treadmill is not good as running outdoor 😣

[@heatherfell_oly]

But at these times it beats not running.

[@aklman]

You haven't fixed your phone yet? 😂😂

[@heatherfell_oly]

It's a new break :0

[@aklman]

What!! Again? You know that you are suppose to use it to call people... 😂😏

[@heatherfell_oly]

@@aklman 🤣

[@duanedaylebaliatan5209]

First 😂🤣

[@kalimbodelsolgiuseppeespos8695]

How to make indoor training fun? Mm.🤣 A female triathlete as girlfriend. Should work😂😂😂
