Treadmill antics. 1 degree incline. Upping the pace on each run till the end. Week one can be tough!

Good job. Don’t worry too much about pace.

[John_W Graduate]

Why are you upping the pace? Why are you doing a 1% incline? Neither are necessary.

Just go a nice and easy pace (one you can hold a conversation at comfortably) and relax. Week 1 should NOT be tough unless you're very overweight and have never exercised before.

Good luck

The 1% incline is widely advised to make the treadmill experience match the outdoor exercise experience more accurately (and presumably make the treadmill-to-outdoor transition more smooth, for anyone who’s alternating).

[Fatdad71 Graduate in reply to BargainRzl]

Thanks both for your replies. I'm upping the pace because I want to. And running with an incline to help with future transition to outdoors. Both are meant to push me slightly on the treadmill but give me a little more intuitive insight into my capability so that I can drivetrain take it really easy when I do run outside. Hope that's ok. I'm recovering from an injury so not pushing myself too hard here.

Hi, just as a heads up also it looks like Fatdad71 is a graduate (the badge is there after the username)
