Real Runners Give you their Best Treadmill Tips

Published: Jan. 12, 2024, 5:01 a.m.

One of the most polarizing topics in running is the treadmill. Some love the comfort of running indoors while others find this machine boring or monotonous, giving it a nickname in the running community as the \u201cdreadmill\u201d. Wherever you stand on this debate, it can be a useful tool for training that provides consistency and control over your runs.\xa0

We\u2019re right in the middle of winter right now and if you live in a cold climate, you\u2019re almost certain to have days where cold and snow make running outside uncomfortable, or even unsafe. This applies to other climate as well like extreme heat or wind. On these days it can be extremely useful to make use of the treadmill. Even if you don\u2019t own a treadmill, most gyms will have plenty of them and typically offer day-passes for those without a membership.\xa0

In today\u2019s show, we\u2019re going to hear from real runners like you with their best tips to keep treadmill running fun and make it a part of their running routine. We asked our RC audience to tell us how they make their treadmill runs more enjoyable and we got some great answers. Over the course of this episode we\u2019ll cover:

  • How real RC listeners use the treadmill in training, including their favourite workouts

Ask yourself - do you get enough green veggies each day?

I'll admit, I don't. It's tough to fit all of those greens in with an active and busy lifestyle.\xa0But getting in your fruits + veggies is SO crucial as a distance runner for recovery, digestion, and optimal performance.

That's where Athletic Greens is a gamechanger. One scoop has 75 bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced ingredients including a multivitamin, multimineral, probiotic, green superfood blend, and more.

That means fewer stomach issues, more focus and energy throughout the day (because the workday matters just as much as the morning run), and overall ... just feeling healthier.
