Peak Run Performance Head Coach Jacob Puzey explains the advantages of treadmill training as an efficient and convenient way to not only fit in a run amid a busy schedule, but as a training tool for success.
Treadmill training offers numerous benefits which include:
Convenience of not having to dress for the weather; plan a route; or travel to a workout location
May not require as extensive warm-up
Requires less running clothes and gear-up time
With a treadmill you always have your fuel nearby (marathon, ultramarathon fueling)
With a treadmill you always have a restroom nearby
No weather challenges or surface challenges due to weather conditions
Ability to closely control repeat times and rest times in higher intensity workouts
Workout variability (change of pace from outside) and ability to shut down a workout without being stranded far from home
Hill repeats - with benefit of not having to do the downhill interval with every uphill (or for those without access to hills)
Treadmill can reduce impact from forces created while running
Uphill hiking training (ultra hiking; uphill walking)
Can safely listen to music or watch TV (no bears or other unknowns)
Stay tuned for more specific training videos. We have many more to come.
