Lab 10,979 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Well i'm heading for 3 months at the gym and still loving it. Muscle building and getting fitter but now i'd like to know what i should do on the treadmill. At the moment i am doing 15mins at 12.5kmph at a .5 gradient. Now would it be better to stick at this speed and do a longer time or should i just stick to the time but increase the speed? Cheers..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Always run by time mate - the fitter you get the more distance you'll travel. So if you're running 5 miles in 40 minutes, within a month or so you could be doing it in half an hour, cutting 10 minutes off your training time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly am sweating like a mo-fo and my heart is going good guns so i know i'm getting fitter mate. I started of at 10.5kmph for 15 mins and now i'm up to 12.5kmph. So what your saying is keep at the 12.5kmph and increase the minutes.?? Hoping to do a 10k in the future......maybe this year.....maybe not... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Theres no right answer to that mate, but theres nowt better for fitness than doing high intensity intervals. Do hill sprints outside, walking or jogging back down. Or incorporate sprints into a normal run. It kills but is brilliant for recovery time and overall fitness. After not long 10k will seem a walk in the park and you wont lose muscle training like this, as you do with low intensity cardio, you will build it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've noticed a big difference from doing the bike to running. After 15mins on the bike then doing a 45-60 mins weights i'm fine but after running then doing weights i really feel it. I'll try one of these preset things on the running machine where it does incorporate hills and speed increase.........just dont want to do an injury or have a heart attack, i dont like to give in once ive set my time.....
