Hello to all, this past year I have had athletes supplement their track training with some treadmill training session session. These session are done for drive phase work, max velocity work and speed maintenance work and over speed training.
These sessions are done on a regular treadmill and have been great for developing their speed and confidence.
I will post video soon. If anyone is interested in this type of training please let me know. |

It has been a while since I posted this. What I like best about using the treadmill is that for overspeed training the effect is immediate.
I have a client run on the treadmill for 3 x 2 minutes at or 20 seconds faster than the treadmill belt.
Within 20 minutes I take them to the track and do a speed training session on the track.
Another benefit is that no injuries. |

Two issue to be dealt with when training on a treadmill.
Passive work versus active work.
Passive work is when you are not doing anything to keep up with the treadmill belt speed. It is great for conditioning but not for building or increasing speed.
Most treadmill programs fall into the passive category.
Active work involves you working to keep up with the treadmill belt. Good for conditioning and building or increasing speed.
Why? What are you teaching yourself?
Passive work on a treadmill can't be applied to an outside environment.
Active work on a treadmill can be applied to an outside environment.
One you are in control, active and the other you are not in control, passive, except for not falling off. |
