Comfortable running pace treadmill.

[saltyfishhead666]

I was wondering what everyone's comfortable running pace on a treadmill was.

 

I've noticed sometimes mine is so slow it's on walking pace and seems to speed up until it's so fast that I'm scared I'm going to fall off the back of it.

 

I'm a newbie to treadmills granted

The pace that puts my heart rate in the target zones for what I seek, or that does not exceed my max threshold heart rate for intervals.

or - if I am nursing a injury or infection or something like that -a pace that does not inhibit recovery - and that might just be walking.

While I agree I'm looking for sustainable not vigorous lol

Every brand of treadmill is unique. The settings, tension, slope, etc. You should be able to find yours on You tube.

 

I'm not a fun of them . I run outside rain, snow or shine. If working out indoors

I much prefer an exercise bike...more control and I can think less while watching TV or talking on phone, etc.

 

 

I'd love to be an outside runner however I have asthma and all the bits in the air make it much more difficult. I'm not really a runner either, however bike and cross trainer I tend to slack lol
