  • Hey everyone! It’s easy to step up and use a treadmill, but here’s some of my top tips for getting the most out of it. I love using the treadmill, it’s really easy and helps you to train at a good pace no matter what the weather is outside. All footage filmed at St. Mary's University, London.

    This is how it should be done. As you retire and before you loose all your inability to train. You teach the next generation your secrets to success. Thanks Mo.

      No secret, be born a freak of nature genetics wise, train hard for about 8 years and supplement some PEDs if you're close but not number one.

    • @TheSteinbitt
      @TheSteinbitt 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So who do you think would win, a doped up genetic freak or a doped up normal person? If the sport is reasonably clean (don't know which sport that would be), then genetics and training prevails. If not you need additional help. And why would you sleep in an oxygen chamber, to lower endogenous epo? lol
      I bet that you couldn't break 2.20 marathon after 10 years of quality training and the best drugs in the world.

    • @Ligerpride
      @Ligerpride 5 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      @@wriches No it isn't! It's 9 km. It's clearly a metric machine. He's asked for his kg weight.
      Also, when talking about pace he clearly points to the machine he's using saying "some machines give you the kilometer pace" - which matches the speed showing.
      "how fast do you go first mile?"
      "Reeeally slow" really slow isn't 9 miles per hour.
      Look at the number when he can't get by with just walking. It's just 7....which is about right at 7km per hour. He can't walk casually at 7 miles an hour!
      Then he moves up to 9.....which is an easy saunter.

    The regular diet you're on when training. Foods for energy and recovery. Pre race meals, pre long run/track workout meals. Different meals you eat throughout the day to stay in tip top shape.

    Mo's coach Alberto Salazar is a big believer in treadmills and has written a book about treadmill running. Salazar used to run about 1/2 of his weekly mileage on treadmills in prep for his Comrades win.

    First I did run from 8 to 9, 10, 11.5, 12.5 and I had 5km's in 27 minutes. Now, I wanted to achieve 5km's in 24 minutes and started right the way from second 1, running 12.5, so that I could reach my goal in 24 minutes. Very bad idea, I stopped right the way after 4 minutes running 12.5 without any warm-up. I will do it today again, I will do it as I did it the first time but better and follow your example. Thanks mate!

    Hi Mo, I discovered something awesome recently, my flat out 5k time on a treadmill was 20:30 and when I decided to modulate the speeds from 17kmh for 5 mins the 3 mins 14.5, 2 mins 17, 3 mins 14.5 etc etc I immediately got down to low 19 mins! The 14.5kmh 3 mins zones acting as a recovery phase helped me hang on. Is this a recognised way of running? After a year of no improvement I improved by over a minute in a week!!

At what pace (threshold/anerobic)? Do you split them into sets of 10 each for example. And do you jog in between the intervals or walk? How often: once per week or bimonthly? Etc. Thank you, Sir!
