September 22, 2004 -- According to a study conducted by American Sports Data, Inc. (ASD), there were 43.4 million treadmill users in the United States. That is an incredible 936% increase over 15 years. Despite this impressive number of treadmill enthusiasts, there are very few books available to guide these treadmill runners on the proper use of their machines. Proper usage of a treadmill is not simply a matter of stepping on the machine and turning it on. Because of the fact that the user is running on a moving belt rather than propelling themselves over stable ground, there are many adjustments that must be made in order to gain full benefit from treadmill running. This book presents solutions to all treadmill training problems.
Running on a treadmill, while convenient, is considered by many to be tedious and boring. That is why many treadmills are used as clothes hangers rather than for exercise. The best way to avoid tedium is to engage in a variety of workout routines. This book includes over 50 workouts designed specifically for the treadmill and training programs for all levels of runners from beginners to competitive runners. Distances from 5K to a full marathon are covered, in depth.
