How to do it
Setup
- Straddle the treadmill belt by standing on the side rails and attach the safety clip securely to your clothing.
- Select your program or start the treadmill at a low walking speed, then step smoothly onto the belt.
- Gradually increase the speed and incline until you reach your target running pace.
Movement
- Run with an upright posture, keeping your chest open and shoulders relaxed.
- Land with your feet underneath your hips, avoiding excessive overstriding.
- Allow your arms to swing naturally forward and back with bent elbows to maintain balance and rhythm.
- Continue running at your prescribed pace for the planned duration or distance.
Breathing
Maintain a steady, rhythmic breathing pattern synchronized with your stride rate.
Cues
- Stay tall through the torso
- Quick light feet under your center of mass
- Relax the shoulders and hands
- Look forward, not down at the console
Common faults
- Holding onto the handrails while running.
- Reduce the belt speed or incline so you can run freely with a natural arm swing.
- Overstriding and landing heavily on the heels ahead of the body.
- Shorten your stride and increase cadence so your feet land directly beneath your hips.
- Drifting too close to the front console or too far back near the end of the belt.
- Position yourself in the middle third of the running deck and maintain an even pace.
Safety
- Always attach the emergency stop clip to your clothing before starting the machine.
- Do not jump off a fast-moving belt; straddle the side rails and decrease speed safely if needed.
