Treadmill speed

Post by Nikbernyfuller »

Hi guys!! I'm on week four and my 2nd attempt, I found running at just under 5mph too much and have gone down to 3.5mph and find it a lot easier! What speed is everyone else running at?? I go down to 3.2mph for the walking periods...

Would you say this is enough?
Thanks

I would say any speed is good, start slow and as you get more confidence up the anti :)

I keep my runs at 4.2 mph. 4.5 was just too much for my short legs and 4.0 felt too slow. I say whatever speed works best for YOU is what you should be doing. Endurance now, speed later.

Best of Luck!
