RE: Don't Hate the Treadmill - It's a Valuable Tool When Used Correctly (#runforsteem post)
Great post! I've been looking for ways to speed up - both for some future planned races and for basketball. This was a great compilation of tips and ideas to kick me off. I'm also looking to try out a week or two of Aaptiv + Treadmill to see if it's as magical as people have made it out to be
Interesting. I hadn’t heard of Aaptiv but it looks promising. Maybe you could post about it for us. Is it expensive? I honestly just banged this out kind of quickly, so if you ever want some more ideas just let me know. I really attribute my success in master’s track to lots and lots of treadmill workouts when my kids were little and my wife and I would go to the gym just to take them to the day care! I really recommend the circuit example, and if you have access to Free weights you should try it with deadlifts. Low rep/near max deadlifts and then a sprint has an amazing effect.
It's a bit pricey at $10/month or $49/year so I've been a bit hesitant to pull the trigger, but I like the idea of an audio coach in my ear (mostly barking at me).
Haha can't argue with that! Nothing like a little motivation to get away to keep you distracted/in the zone on the treadmill.
Will try the circuit example and Aaptiv and post about it!
