Treadmill Training for Runners: How to Utilize the Treadmill for Your Running Goals

This book was a great help to me in becomeing a runner. Due to my schedule I am usually unable to run outside. I must run on the treadmill, but could not motivate myself to do it. This book gave me a lot of excellent tips on the mistakes I was making when running on a treadmill and also how to correct them. And even more importantly it helped keep me motivated with several different training programs and a whole slew of workouts. I am never bored now. I have been able to improve my fitness enough that I now consider myself a runner. I even trained for a weekend 5K using the workouts here. I highly recommned this book if you must do a lot of your training on the treadmill.

I completed my first 5K and just finished my first marathon using the training programs in this book. And I did almost all of my training on the treadmill. IT WORKS!

I found this to be a very informative book on a subject that has little available information. The author has done a good job of covering all of the specific needs of a treadmill runner. I especially like the various workouts that are designed for the treadmill. I would recommend this book for anyone that works out on a treadmill.

I do not usually write reviews, but I noticed a previous review that criticized this book for not having a complete program. I am somewhat confused by that comment because the entire last half of this book is dedicated to complete training programs for everyone from beginning runners to competitive runners. There are programs all the way from learning to run, 5K, 10K to racing a full marathon. This is a well written and entertaining book that has been very useful to me and my family.

I have purchased a couple of treadmill books. There are not many available. I have been disappointed in the other books. They were either advertisments for a brand of treadmill or were not intended for runners. This is by far the best and really the only book I have found that contains usuable info for running on the treadmill. I do a lot of my training on the treadmill and I found a lot of good tips in this book. I am a marathon runner and am using the marathon schedules. There is also a lot of information for beginning runners, which I did not need, but there appears to be great info in this book for all levels of runner. Highly recommended for any treadmill runner.
