At what speed do you walk/run on the treadmill?

smaryamf

Hi,

what is speed and the incline that you use during your treadmill session?

I started out at 3.4 at an incline of 3-4, since I had poor stamina, right now going good at 4 mph and inclining to 6-7.
how do you do it?

I vary what I do between 3.5 and 6.0

I jog at about 4. When I first started, I thought I needed to be at a fast pace and burned out so quickly. At 4, I was able to get up to two miles without stopping (which was quite an accomplishment for me)! I'm sure my pace will increase over time.

I walk on the tread mill at a speed of 3 - 3.5 with an incline of 3-5

Im more focused on calories burned so you can modify your speed and incline to achieve the desired calories burn. For me average speed of 6 and incline of 1.5 -2 at 37 minutes will give me a burn of 350 Kcal. What heps also is my heart monitor as it gives me a good indication whether i have achieve my exercise heart rate target which is at 145 and calorie burn target. Hope this helps

when i do the treadmill i use a pace of 4 and an incline of 15.

Whatever speed I dont have to hold on to anything. I guess that is cheating lol. For me its 2.2-2.4 mph 15 incline. Again much faster if I hold onto stuff but trying not to.

I walk at 3 mph, jog at 4 mph in 5 or 10 minute intervals until my lungs stop being cry babies (yay asthma! :grumble: ).
I have my incline set at four.

Tonight I did intervals of 3.4 miles per hour and 7.5 mph on an incline of 5 for 21 minutes. My legs now ache!! If I go for longer I go anything between 4.5 and 6mph on lower inclines x

i usually do 4-4.5 at incline 15. burn alot of cals without damaging my joints.

Today I did 10 incline at 3.5-5. I was on for 40 mins and feeling it now.

Usually I jog on the treadmill at about a 6.5 or a 7. Last night I jogged at an 8 (7 1/2 minute mile) for about 20 minutes but it really tired me out.

joshsmama05

I had some asthma issues and then a cold so I'm not where I would like to be....but I'm currently at about 3.5 with a 3-6 incline. Hoping to increase a little in the next few days.

I look like a big puss next to all the other posters...

I usually walk/jog at 3-3.5mph...and I always do hill intervals. I am on level 7 right now, and that means the top interval is 5.6%. It randomly generates the intervals, but usually does something like 5.6%, 4.9%, 3.6% 2.9%,1.9%, 0%, then maybe 3 minutes at 2.9% and so on....

I am also asthmatic, and I pre-treat with albuterol a few minutes before getting on the treadmill...

ggcat

I run at 6.5 mph at a 3% incline and walk 4.4 mph at a 6% incline....I burn almost 600 calories in an hour.

I walk at a 4.2 with an incline of 3 (I know, lame)

I go at this pace for around 35-45 minutes or so lately. Trying to improve endurance before I bump up my speed! Before my maximum I could do at even a 3.4 was around 15 minutes. I'm fairly new at walking for extended periods of time so I've got a lot to improve on!

iggyboo93

Incline of 1.0. Walk at 3.3 for 5 minutes. Run at 5.2 for a minute. Alternate running and walking for 30 minutes. You all inspired me - I'm increasing the incline to 2.0.

I can survive about 20-odd minutes at the low 3s (and the incline around 5 or 6) before my knees hurt too much to continue. I've taken to using the elliptical instead, though it doesn't get my heart rate quite as high. :grumble:

country91

3-3.5, no incline for an hour. Throw the laptop on top and away we go.

1996gtstang

really out of shape right now so 2.2-2.5mph with incline 3

17 months ago I started walking at 2.8 for 15 min (it was all I could manage back then ) I slowly increased time, duration, and then incline,day by day week by week. I started running 9 months ago. Today I run 6-7 miles nonstop averaging 6 MPH. Fastest was 7.2 for short bursts and walk @ 4.0 as a cool down for 5 min. After the treadmill I work out in the pool for an hour. Total burn according to calcs is 700 treadmill and 250 for pool

dsjohndrow

4-12 MPH. I prefer to run outside, but the TM is good for learning to pace yourself on long runs.

michellekicks

On the what?! Ew. Never.

Lesley2901

No incline, walk at 4.0mph, jog 5.5mph, run 6.3mph and use 7.8mph for intervals (gradually increasing to 8.0mph)

SomeoneSomeplace

I despise the treadmill but when I use it I run at 6.5 or 7.0. I find I run faster on regular ground

First time on a treadmill in YEARS this past week... I walked at 3.5 mph for about 5 minutes then ran (okay I know I'm slow!) for a mile at 5 mph, then walked at 4.0 for another 10 minutes, then did a 2 min 3.0 cool down. Then got off the treadmill and walked around campus for another 10-15 minutes before I got to class. I'm sure all my classmates loved my stinky-ness! I was dripping when I finally got to class!

The fastest I can walk on the treadmill is 3.5 with a 2 to 4 incline.. The thought of walking 4.0 at the place I am sounds to hard.. I am not there yet.. But that is ok with me...

Rinkermann

i do a 10% incline @ 11kph or 6.8mph. 40 secs run 20 secs rest for 30 mins.

it just seems to be a workout that i enjoy. it's challenging, and i don't seem to get bored because im not running for more than 40 seconds at a time.
