Can I follow a training plan if I’m running on a treadmill?
Run SMART Training Plans list exactly what distance and pace you should be running everyday leading up to your goal race. Running on a treadmill is an easy and efficient way to follow a Run SMART Training Plan, especially if you’re not very good with pace, don’t have a GPS watch or a marked path to run on. We recommend adjusting the treadmill to a 1% grade to adjust for the stress you would experience when running against a headwind outside and because it helps reduce the landing shock on your legs.
