5 Treadmill Workouts to Get Faster

January 7, 2016 By Heather Blackmon

.

When it’s cold outside, many of us will spend more time on the treadmill than usual. While I recommend you get outside for at least one run a week (yes, even in the winter), choosing the right treadmill workouts are a fantastic way to improve your speed.

5 Treadmill Workouts to Get Faster

So if you’re spending more time on the treadmill – why not put that time to good use?! If you’ve been consistently running for at least 2-3 months, you can begin to add speed work to your training.

I created this workout guide filled with 5 awesome speed workouts, all designed to help you run faster (with the side effect of beating boredom on the treadmill). Included in this free resources, you’ll get workouts for runners who are ready to get started with speedwork, training for a 5K, 10K, or half marathon. The half marathon workout is also great “faster than goal pace” training for those training for a marathon.

Updated February 2017: I also updated this guide to include the best interval running workout that you’ve never tried (and probably never heard of) — CV Intervals.

There’s a running workout in this guide to help you improve your speed, no matter what your goal!

To use these workout, follow these steps to find your own personal training paces. I’ll reference these training paces in each workout, so you are training at the right speeds to really make progress. This is the same process I follow in creating baseline paces for my coaching clients and are very effective!

Although I’ve titled these treadmill workouts, you can choose to perform these running workout on the track, measured course, or using your GPS watch to monitor your distance anywhere. I personally value the treadmill is a great training tool (especially in the winter), but you should find the approach what works best for you!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?

"Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know i "Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know it at the time." -Mitch Albom

Last Friday, we ventured to a trail near Carbondale for the most beautiful ride with huge wildflowers everywhere. It was a great trail with good climbing, plenty of flow in the middle, and A LOT of switchbacks on the descent. Our first 2 hour ride of the season and it was a blast!

I didn't know it at the time, but it was also the last ride on my Liv mountain bike - because I got a new bike on Sunday! ✨

If you're in Colorado & in the market for a new bike, I highly recommend Over The Edge in Fruita. I test rode 6 bikes & then took the Pivot Mach 5.5 out on the trail to be sure it was the right one. Great experience!!
