    Taming the treadmill is like taming the wild maker in Dune. If you aren't ready to take it when it comes, you aren't ready...

    I've tried three times now, and the staff at the gym told me how to do it properly but I still find it difficult. I let the machine warm up for a few minutes then jump on but I just can't get my coordination right. I hit my chin on the handle bars the first time, so I tried holding on to them before attempting to do a mid air Flintstones run and land perfectly on the treadmill. However I still ended up face down on the rubber, the last time I tried I went flying into the chrome bin behind me.

    I see all these people running really fast on them, what's their secret? I don't want to do a slow walk, I want to try running properly, I just can't understand how to get the treadmill that fast and safely run on it.

    The problem is you have the treadmill set to mph. Because of your location so close to the GMT, you need to switch it over to km/h.
