My husband tinkered with it and we thought had it fixed but come to find out, not quite.
It seems to work fine at the slower speeds so today I just had to give it a try (since we are signed up for a 5K run next Saturday and I have to at least try to be "ready" for it.)
Knowing that as you increase incline on a treadmill that you actually change the equivalent pace for non treadmill running, I came up with a workout that seemed to not stress the treadmill out but work me out!
Minutes | Incline | Speed |
0-5 |
0-2
|
7.0 |
5 to 6 | 12 | 4.0 |
6 to 7 | 11 | 4.3 |
7 to 8 | 10 | 4.5 |
8 to 9 | 9 | 4.8 |
9 to 10 | 8 | 5.0 |
10 to 11 | 7 | 5.3 |
11 to 12 | 6 | 5.5 |
12 to 13 | 5 | 5.8 |
13 to 14 | 4 | 6.0 |
14 to 15 | 3 | 6.3 |
15 to 16 | 2 | 6.5 |
16 to 17 | 1 | 6.8 |
17 to 18 | 2 | 6.5 |
18 to 19 | 3 | 6.3 |
19 to 20 | 4 | 6.0 |
20 to 21 | 5 | 5.8 |
21 to 22 | 6 | 5.5 |
22 to 23 | 7 | 5.3 |
23 to 24 | 8 | 5.0 |
24 to 25 | 9 | 4.8 |
25 to 26 | 10 | 4.5 |
26 to 27 | 11 | 4.3 |
27 to 28 | 12 | 4.0 |
28 to 30
|
0-2
|
6.5 |
You can of course adjust the speed to fit where your typical pace would be. And if your treadmill only goes to incline 10 then your workout will just be 4 minutes shorter or you can add those 4 minutes in to the middle of your run at the 1 incline.
