What km/hour on the trendmill do people run at the gym?
I am a guy and run from 8km/hour-12km/hour. I think it's pretty slow, considering running 5km at 15km/hour is around 20 minutes.
I usually run at 10.5km/hour for around 1km.
When I do HIIT, I go up to 15km/hour, but I don't run at that speed for very long.
I was wondering what km/hour and for how long people run for?
Also, I find that the higher the speed I run at, the less distance I can covered. I tried doing 15km/hour once, and can only manage 400 metres. Is this the same with you?
Do people find that the slower the speed they at, the longer the distance they covered? -
Re: What km/hour on the trendmill do people run at the gym?You do realise that would mean you run 10k in 24 minutes, which, funnily enough is over two minutes faster than the current world record.(Original post by johnsoloman)
Back in my peak i could do around 25kmh for 10km and then i would be dead for the next few hours lying on the floor in a puddle of sweat and gasping for air.....
I'm impressed! -
Re: What km/hour on the trendmill do people run at the gym?I don't do cardio, but when I do I run between 10-12Kmh for as long as I want.(Original post by GuyUK)

Re: What km/hour on the trendmill do people run at the gym?
Depends.
If I am chosing the speed interval program I will have it on 9.8 for the jog and 11.5 for the run. The last 3 minutes I try to belt out at 13-13.5. Usually do that no more than 25 minutes.
If I am wanting to do a steady long distance run then 10.2. Usually for this I will be running 10-15k
I always have the incline on 1 though also.Last edited by Miss_Scarlett; 11-05-2012 at 22:15. -

I'll do my treadmill 'sprints' with the thing maxed out which is around the 22km/h mark. Short work periods though (around 20s).
I'll do my low intensity interval training at around 16km/h mark for 10 repetitions of 30s on 30s off.
You don't have to run at a constant speed to see results from a treadmill. -
