Step-by-step
- Step on and warm up with a brisk 3-5 minute walk
- Gradually raise the speed to your running pace
- Keep your torso tall and land your steps on the front half of the belt
- Swing your arms rhythmically, elbows bent at 90 degrees
- To finish, step the speed down gradually and cool down 3-5 minutes
Coaching tip
Set a 1-2% incline; a flat treadmill is easier than outdoor running and the incline closes that gap.
