Treadmill Treats

Don’t just trot along watching the telly – making full use of the treadmill’s impressive collection of gizmos will keep you engaged and make sure you get the most out of an indoor session.

Pre-set workouts can also push you harder than you might push yourself outside. Liz says, “If I set up a session, I have to stick to it – I’d feel too guilty to push the stop button! When I’m running outside it’s tempting to get lazier and lazier with fartlek intervals.”
