WHY I BOUGHT A TREADMILL AND WHY YOU SHOULDN'T!?

[@jasoncolumbus1232]

I currently just bought one for the reason of having kids ! I find it a lot easier to set an easy pace and keep with it than going outside and pushing to hard on an easy run. Plus Canada its been -30 C with windchill for the last week.

[@sandrathorsen6348]

Same👌🏼👌🏼 so glad I did!

[@jolantamichalovskaja6864]

I got a treadmill last year (Pacerunner) and I would not recommend to buy it to anyone, unless you're a pro runner and you have your own house where to put it . It was huge, difficult to assamble, it was extremely boring and unconfortable to use it. I am glad it broke in a couple of month and I could return it to the seller :D Such a relief!

[@SilviaPallova]

Nice video and I believe good investment. I run on treadmill almost every day (almost) . Mine got more than 10 years. My pros: It is the time saver, but also it is safer to run inside instead of going out early in the dark morning or late in the dark evening. Not only the cold can be annoying and making it hard to get out, but also wind. I live in the area where most days are very very windy (that is why we have got here more wind mills than people 😂). There are also some savings behind that, e.g. shoes are worn out much slower, you can run in cotton shirts, in whatever kind of sweatpants or shorts, no hat or gloves are needed.

[@AniaPC]

Thank you for another inspiring video. I don’t know what it is but when I see you running with a big smile on your face I want to do it to. So guess what I did half way into this video? I looked at my treadmill covered with dust, clean it and did 20 min. All thanks to you. Thank you again🙏

[@runningwithmarc]

Nice one Göran, I live in Finland and am presented with the same challenges as you (minus the babies). For quality sessions in the winter time, especially for speed work and road running, a treadmill is great. I'm lucky that at work we have a gym with some treadmills. But I'm sure down the line I'll end up with one. 70 seconds on them settings is a nice effort 💪

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks Marc! Yeah it really helps with the quality sessions in the winter for us in Nordic countries 😊

[@syncmaster173]

That looked so hard, I don’t think I’d last 10 seconds at max 🙈 great points about the treadmill, mine is definitely the best purchase I’ve ever made, there’s no way I’d have kept my run streak without it. I live in northern Alberta and between the severe cold, ice and lack of daylight it’s worth every penny for the safety and convenience factors alone. Zwift combined with a good podcast or show definitely helps with the boredom

[@steelersfan830]

Yes sir, totally agree! I'm in Nova Scotia and while we don't get the extreme cold you would have in AB, we have a tonne of ice.

[@davidr1431]

I am hoping to enjoy Zwift so was pleased to read your comment

[@raezasan]

i got a walking treadmill for under my desk so i can keep moving while working/studying. this is really 90% of what i use it for and for just this purpose alone it has paid off so much. now i can slowly stroll for a few hours while i get my work done instead of sitting getting a sore butt. still prefer to run outside in pretty much any weather conditions.

[@daanlinders7997]

Because of your videos I tried running for the first time. I am already quite fit and I always want to push myself. So today I ran almost 4km at 4:33min/km. I did in normal clothes and shoes, because I don't have running shoes (yet). But I probably should have gone slower, because the pump in my calves is pretty insane. I think I will by soon some cheap running shoes and start running a little more. Thank you for your amazing videos.

[@gmy33]

Give your body a lot of time to adapt .. its better to run 3x3km . Than 2x6 .. easy does it .. give it time . You will be amazed

[@trinichinee6426]

Doh get carry away with the treadmill ... It's easy to run on it ... Try running outside on the roads, trails, track and test out your true running speed .. it's completely different

[@langdalepass]

Grest Video as always thanks. Don't forget your safety cut off clip, especially with having a restricted throw off area at the back, if you are on the floor there the roller needs to be stopping asap!

[@raul1735]

Just a little advice if I may, take it away from the wall (or turn it around), in case of an accident you won’t get thrown to the wall and got stuck and burnt. Cheers

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah that’s good advice, thanks! 😊

[@michaeldonnelly1420]

I was going to suggest turning it around as well... you could get seriously injured. Watch the part of the post where you're doing the challenge and note how close your feet come to the wall when you're fully striding out. Yikes! Oh... and I'm a treadmill fan myself... love my incline trainer!

[@Kari_Pie]

I got a treadmill just for those times I didn't have the motivation to bundle up for cold runs... they can be a great addition to training! I like that you added in your heart rate.

[@jefejeffwell1113]

I love that your cold will grow up in a household where physical fitness will be seen positively and daily. My parents were not very physically active, and it took me a long time to find my passion for it. Now it’s the biggest part of my life and my favorite hobby.

[@milos-7712]

Great video Goran You make good points And the videography is pretty nice 👌 One thing I noticed - It may be a bit hazardous to have your high performance treadmill just centimeters from a wall. Maybe you should think about rotating it so it has room behind it in case you...well, you know... Maybe I'm wrong but just wanted to point that out.🙂

[@threeandahalfmen1]

I was thinking the same thing, I thought his foot was going to touch the wall at full pace. Awesome video!

[@mischiefcommittee]

I just bought a treadmill as well, and agree with many of the points you made. Never used a treadmill before this, and find that it is a great tool to work on pace, interval training, HRT, etc., and get that consistent feedback. I'm also incorporating walking backwards on an incline to see if that has any benefits (per Knees Over Toes Guy), which is easy peasy to do on a treadmill 😂. That being said, running outside is, and will always be the best! 😁 Thanks for another great video! Cheers! ✌❤

[@miggylobos1]

The last moment before you stop in the incline reminded me of Rocky 4 when Drago is training on an inclined treadmill.

[@TheDeterminedRunner]

Running outside is always better but saying that I bought a Treadmill over a year ago & it's been such a good buy. I've been ill a lot over the past 12 months & being able to do what I can on the Treadmill has let me do something rather than nothing. I know everyone always takes the mickey out of Treadmills but sometimes they can be a huge help 🏃👍

[@brigitteboulais5474]

I live in the Laurentians north of Montreal- lots of snow ice and sometimes bugssss so am looking at treadmill but which one to choose? help someone? Goran hooked on your videos very helpful for a grandmother who just started running, thank you!

[@Julian-pj2zi]

Great effort Göran! And congrats to you and your wife on the twins!

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks Julian 😊

[@ETGOTHOME7]

Excellent advice as always!! And so so happy for you and your wonderful family 🥰

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks 😊

[@liamroche1473]

I wish I had a handy epic mountain trail! Most of us are not so fortunate, so don't need to worry about that particular disadvantage. 70 seconds was awesome!

[@madshansson20]

3 kids, work and family life is why i bought a treadmill. I use t for intervals and short temporuns. For that it is perfect in my opinion

[@cakej1]

I had knee surgery in November and after a lot of pool running, speaking of boring, I've been using treadmill to run again. I find if I change the pace a little each kilometer like 750 meters easy and 250 meters a little faster makes the time go by faster. And definitely less boring than pool running. I find threshold sessions on treadmill help as long as I keep incline at 1.5%.

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah pool running is for sure not the funniest thing to do, congrats on getting it done still and getting back to running again! Yeah doing different types of workouts for sure help with making treadmill running more fun.

[@vivekkamath1033]

Goran It's better to face control unit of the treadmill towards wall (I mean near wall) instead of tail of the treadmill for SAFETY PURPOSES. In simple words same position of machine but rotated by 180 degrees.

[@sumit-tri]

Always a great message to learn from your video.

[@JeffPelletier]

Really fun video! Congrats to you both on having twins as well. 🎉

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks Jeff 😊

[@imeprezime9049]

How should we breathe while running? Inhale throughout the nose, exhale throughout the mouth? Is it possible to get more lean and muscular just from running?

[@purenrg4life]

Nice vid mate!! And loved the cameo at the end there!! Hope things are going great for you all!

[@mastroiannisteve]

Great video and impressive effort on the max settings. I can only wish I can be that fit.

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks Steve!

[@Davoudi]

May I ask, do you have a link for the one you bought and why did you choose it? Thanks for all the videos, best regards, David

[@andrerangel5256]

I leave in Brasil. We don't heave snow but we get a lot of heavy rain. Treadmills at the gym helps a lot

[@DasMachineBrettK]

You have very kind eyes- I notice it in all your videos

[@Zsolto66]

Thanks for the great videos and congrats on the babies, Göran! In my limited experience treadmills are a lot easier to run on than outdoors. The fact that the road moves under your feet and you don't need to push conserves a lot of energy. I first started out running on a treadmill at the gym four years ago and I thought I was making some good progress when I could run "12k" in one hour on the treadmill. Then I went out to the track and could hardly run a lap before my legs started hurting like hell. I needed to learn to run properly first... Started out with 2k and progressed from there to half marathons. It took almost two years to get to a 1-hour 10k outdoors. Ok, I am 55. But I never stood on a treadmill since. Granted, we hardly have any snow in Budapest. Zs

[@borutsiraj6086]

Running in the winter is pure joy for me. I'm in Finland on a business stay, and winter conditions here are just magical. A few days ago I went for a run on sheer ice, luckily I had the Icebugs on my feet which prevented me from serious injury. #notreadmillsforme

[@masheeniblick]

I have had my treadmill for years. It is a life-saver when the roads are too dangerous (due to ice in the winter)! I am lucky to have a large garage though. If it's good enough for Ingebrigsten, it's good enough for me. 🇳🇴

[@dannydevito2587]

Congratulations on the babies! Another fantastic video as always! I had a treadmil for a while.. till it started being used as a coat rack HAHA ended up selling it but im glad youre enjoying yours!

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks 😊

[@ViviAndHerMac]

Thanks for presenting proper arguments on treadmill topic. May I ask for a video on how to fuel properly for different running activities? Also in between a Marathon or what your experience is for or against it

[@Ironrav]

Delightful video. I've been a big fan of treadmill running since the pandemic. I particularly love running against others on Zwift. That takes the boring-ness factor away from indoor training. You should try it buddy!

[@Justin-vb4ek]

Treadmills are super heavy so I almost immediately had some regrets when I set it up. But I so far greatly enjoy having it in my home. Efficient, convenient, private. Weather permitting I will run outside.

[@bradduesy8024]

Congratulations on the babies! I find treadmills great for speed work, forcing yourself to stay on at a set speed for a set time. But anything over 30 minutes and I just wish I was outside 😅

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks 😊 yeah totally agree!

[@tessontherun]

Treadmill is a must when you have kids and live in snowy Sweden :-) But I agree; outdoor running is the best

[@goranwinblad]

Agree! 😊

[@sudstahgaming]

Athletes I recommend it definitely or locked in with kids, other then that it's a big expense takes up a lot of space Vs the amount you would use it, a treadmill is great for a boxer or footballer that type of thing were you can top up on your training from earlier sessions.

[@thomasschwarz1973]

I see a lot of cool treadmills with scenic/subscription/VR screens. Can someone please recommend the top/ best cousioned pure sport treadmills? I always do progressive training in 5 minute sections, faster, faster, done. Great if I could set up those speeds/times in advance.....

[@jerryb.7021]

Hi Goran. Did the band a-ha get as big in Norway as they got in the USA? Is "Take on Me" on the radio all the time? I ask because I am sure you know they're a Norwegian band.

[@SlowDownCozyCloud]

I think, you can’t really say it’s good or bad, it’s depends on people lifestyle, location, climate and many more. I bought treadmill ( peloton) a year ago, I live in a very cold winter area, I don’t like to run around people, I find my self slow down around people and dogs and traffic light. For treadmill, I can run anytime I want, I have been running 2-3 times long a week since that or sometimes I just do hiking. I love it, it’s perfect for me.

[@adriancritchley2485]

I was tempted to buy a treadmill when I caught covid a couple of weeks ago. In the end I just had a two week rest / recovery which was definitely the better decision I think.

[@bev9708]

I get soooo hot running on the treadmill, and yes sooooo bored too!!!

[@jerryb.7021]

I bought a treadmill for the times when running outside is not possible: when it's dark outside or raining. Otherwise I always run outside. I bought an inexpensive foldable treadmill for $300. I do only easy zone 2 runs on it and it's great for getting in the miles when outside isn't possible!

[@deonsmit8887]

Great stuff!!

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks!

[@danieldunstone6128]

i noticed your lower on your left shoulder i have same problem when racing like high intence my form goes out the window as i toss to each side even tho i do core

[@rolo82]

Your voice is soothing 😌 keep up the greate videos

[@joerenwick5018]

I have a treadmill but only use it if conditions outside are dangerous outside. It’s just so boring and personally I find it harder than outside

[@what_it_is]

Great video, although you were making me very nervous with how close the back of the treadmill was to the wall......not much room for anything if u slip, yikes :P

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks! Haha yeah that made me a bit nervous as well when I looked through the footage 😅😅

[@hahtos]

Woof, I tried visualizing myself doing that, but I just imagined myself tripping and flying through the drywall behind...

[@mastergoatee]

You need some space behind the treadmill in case you fall and get spit out the back 😜

[@goranwinblad]

Haha yeah probably a good idea 😅

[@whiplash231]

awww you just had twins. i wonder what amazing adventures they will go on with you

[@danieless4009]

i dont have the space or money for a treadmill. but i do like doing a treadmill training session at the gym near me. it allows me to run for longer or run more consistent speed interval. but i dont think a normal person like me needs one in their house

[@Fornis1]

what made you buy the pro t90? im looking to buy a treadmill myself and not sure whitch one i should go for

[@thisnameisit]

Hi nice vid congrats on new family and treadmill ✌, what model did get and do you like it longterm , thanks

[@davido8086]

I love my treadmill it was a game changer for me. Where I live it’s super hot in the summer and super cold in the winter so I need the treadmill or I won’t run as much.

[@the.trollgubbe2642]

Run on Zwift, pretty fun.

[@goranwinblad]

Actually have tried it and yeah makes it a lot less boring will probably make a video about Zwift running in the future!

[@raaghavendrakra8664]

why is he heel striking ?

[@nolongerhavetowork]

I got a mini walking pad, but sending it back as don't feel safe using it.

[@jakubholik90]

I think treadmill running is the same way "boring" as outdoor running. You just have to switch off your mind and stop thinking about for how long you are training and how much is still left. I had an opportunity to use the treadmills with pre-recorded video so it helped to cheat my mind very well. However when the video's pace didn't fit the treadmill's pace I started to feel dizzy. But the thing that I don't really like about the treadmill is a lack of flowing air. Great video as usual!

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah when it comes to road running I can agree but running on trails and in the nature I think is so much fun! Ok interesting with the pre recorded video. Thanks! 😊

[@jakubholik90]

@@goranwinblad I mean both can be boring if you are just starting with it

[@todallard8791]

Never liked treadmills and will never use one running in the cold and snow is fun, I just wish we got more of it I really miss cross country skiing which was a great way to get in intense workouts in the snow and cold.

[@patrickrose8325]

Where I live, the treadmills used for the opposite reason, When it’s too hot outside!

[@toriasummers2670]

Great video and agree treadmill running can be boring UNLESS you have one of the online interactive ones like Peloton - I'm just about to re-purchase. The one thing that concerns me about the placement of your treadmill (and of course it's none of my business!) is the fact that you have absolutely no run-off at the back and imagine if you fell - you'd be face-planted onto the fast moving belt with heaven knows what awful things happening to you - just saying from a concerned stand-point, not wishing to be rude.

[@jenniferrobinson9325]

Congratulations 🎈 on your twins

[@katrinaalison2511]

I got one last year after moving to a rural area. I don't use it a lot in the summer but it is great in the Canadian dark and snowy/icy winter! Plus it is nice with family life for sure being able to be flexible with the runs and hope on whenever the schedule allows. And you're right about getting good workouts in on it, it keeps you honest for sure!

[@K3nom]

Do you live in Hammerfest? Looks like it.

[@user-rl3ef4ju9k]

I'm sure I saw at least 12 percent incline there in the panel. Mine has 15% max but only 20km/h.

[@goranwinblad]

It actually has 22 levels of incline but at level 22 which I was running on it’s 10% incline.

[@b09d4n]

Thank you for this video! I myself have a NordicTrack T10 (12% incline and top speed 22kmph). I'm not using much the treadmill lately and I was thinking to buy a curved treadmill and sell this one. What is your experience with curved treadmills?

[@vasya.k1n6]

Is that the real HR readings? Where do you measure it?

[@aluru1982]

Congratulations to your happy and healthy twins. I agree with you that a treadmill is boring. Nothing can beat the feeling of running outside on a trail, path, or sidewalk.

1:20 Romsdalseggen ✌Would love to have a treadmill for the winter season if my apartment was a little bit bigger. Put up a tv in front of the mill to watch some ski/snowboard movies while running makes it a bit funnier.

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah, beautiful place! Good suggestion 😊

[@thewouldyouratherguy]

I think you should change the title according to the challenge. It’ll get more views I think. Great content

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks for the suggestion and maybe but it’s actually doing really well so far compared to my other videos so will stick to this title as long as it keeps getting so many views. Thanks! 😊

[@Wesz808]

I don't like treadmills at all.. always get a bit nauseous when running on them (and later when stepping off). Here is a tip though since your treadmill get be set on an incline. Walk backwards on max incline. It will strengthen your knees and improve your running stability immensely.

[@stevehumphries4687]

I’m currently Injured, one minute running a 17.45 5K, to having a bit of lower back pain and what I thought was a tight right glute. Went out for a run before Xmas and about 7 miles into the run, felt a really sharp pain in my right glute. A couple of physio’s thought it was Piriformis Syndrome/Sciatica. I wasn’t getting any better by stretching/strengthening, so paid privately for an MRI scan. The results weren’t good, I’ve fractured my sacrum, so I’m out for between 8/12 weeks. I can cycle without pain, so at least I’ve got something to focus on. Also waiting for a Dexa scan which measures bone density. Nightmare, but I’ll get there 👍

[@Dafrazak]

Nice Goran, what about the noise of the treadmill? Is it tolerable for the other members of the family or is it too noisy? Is it more noisy than an indoor bike for instance?

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah it’s a bit noisy sounds more than an indoor bike at least if you’re running fast. The good thing right now is that the babies love the sound from it 😂

[@petercritchley1946]

I’ve always preferred an elliptical to a treadmill, but neither one comes remotely close to getting outdoors.

[@ua_dancer]

For sure it is not a good idea put treadmeal on such position when wall just behind you. As a worker on the ferry I running two month on the treadmeal and month outside, when home. It is really borring, even when tv screen of the treadmeal showing some videos. But it is a great tool to improve training: set a goal what ever you like.

[@denlolify]

damn thats quite the challenge, been thinking of getting a treadmill for the ease of going for a run, as getting out the door and into the elements can be quite a threshold. Have you noticed it being easier to go for a run inside?

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah some days it's for sure easier to just jump on the treadmill.

[@eoincasey5461]

You should try Zwift Running. Makes Running on a treadmill far less boring.

[@anton6795]

That looked brutal! But please tell me, how come you had such low pulse? It looked like you were struggling even at 150-160 bpm. Isn't that right around the beats of pulse zone 2 or 3? When you where done you only had a bpm of 171, that sounds really low when someone does a ma out challenge like this. Great video as always and I hope this treadmill helps with your training :) allt gott!

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah it was pretty tough 😅 My maximum heart rate is unusually low it's just 178bpm and I would need a bit lower pace and a longer duration to be able to reach my maximum hr. Thanks!

[@iberiksoderblom]

I live in an old appartment and it would be impossible to have a contration like that. Much to noisy ! I'm lucky I have access to a training facility with a threadmill, but its SO BORING running in a basement room with nothing to look at besides a white wall. And it only goes up to 18 km/h...

[@goranwinblad]

Ok yeah I understand, yep it's not the most fun thing in the world but at least you feel great afterword's 😊

I feel squishy track running is worse for our knees for distance running. I enjoy treadmill running because it doesn't hurt my knees. And I can leave my phone posted up and watch a movie.

[@Maochan81]

I got rid of the treadmill because it's incredibly boring. I run for fun, relaxation and to get fresh air. Running on a treadmill was such a chore. I will rather run outside in rain, snow or -5 C. Winters are much warmer anyway, which is sad for the planet, but good for running...

[@ParaditeRs]

I am pretty sure I would have created a new door in that wall behind the treadmill if I tried that lol.

[@dmitry.gashko]

That looks painful. But 171bpm, I was expecting higher
