Running long distance is hard...running short distance is hard… What if…we add an incline?

You know what's worst? Trying to run while recovering from an injury

Running & trying to output more energy than your input to shed pounds is rough - Physically, mentally, emotionally (to commit)

Here's an exercise for those athletes that wants to recover from injury while maintaining their weight

Equipment: Treadmill (one with an incline)

•  Running on an incline increases your heart rate without you needing to increase your speed to get a cardio burn.
•  Reduced impact on your joints.

Duration: 30 Mins

Incline: Subjective, but for high-level athletes you should choose the highest. Otherwise, find the incline you can handle the speed at

Speed Range: 4.5-6.5km an hour

The goal is to speed walk the whole 30 mins at 6.5km, hold on to the handle bars if you have to. Find an incline level where you can complete the entire 30 mins at those speeds

Big Tip: If you're not the type to listen to music that pumps you up, find videos that are long in duration so you stay distracted from the timer. This should help your mental patience for that 30 min count down

How many times: As many days as you can for injured athletes - Because you can't run or do anything that can output far more than this. For athletes that are ok but just don't want to run, also do it as you mentally can.

Be realistic, maybe start 2 times a week then work your way up.

Happy Walking
