What is the best incline on the treadmill to run? I am trying to prevent knee soreness and usually run outside.

I have been told 1%-2% is similar to running outside.

I would suggest1% if trying to avoid sore knees.

Good luck x

I always run on a 1 percent incline but up it to 2 every now & then through my run. our treadmill is on the first floor of the house so having it at 1 or 2 cushions the sound downstairs as well

Thanks for your answers! I had it with no incline last run and I wondered if that might have triggered the knee niggling me. I'll try it at 1 % and see how I get on.

Yes usually run at 1.0 incline as 0.0 feels a bit unnatural somehow, hopefully this will help your sore knees
