As the weather heats up, some runners opt for indoor treadmills instead of outdoor workouts. This is indeed a good way to maintain training volume and prevent heatstroke from overheating. However, runners need to prevent some common mistakes in treadmill training.
Omit warm up or cool down
Some runners get on the indoor treadmill and start running, which is not true. It should be the same as running on flat ground. Running on the treadmill also requires a warm-up first, so that the body temperature rises and the muscles are awakened. Runners should jog or walk for 5-10 minutes.
After a run, runners should not step off the treadmill, or they may experience headaches due to the rapid drop in heart rate and blood pressure. Runners should gradually cool down by jogging or walking for 5-10 minutes.
Incorrect running posture
Some runners are worried about falling off the treadmill, so they deliberately change their running posture, which is different from running on flat ground. This reduces running efficiency and can lead to injury. If a runner feels unable to maintain a normal running posture when the speed is high, then reduce the speed and increase the speed after finding the correct running posture.

Some runners are worried about falling off the indoor treadmill, or for other reasons, and are used to holding the handrails on both sides of the treadmill to run. This pose can lead to a shrug, which can cause neck, shoulder, and back pain. Some runners think that holding the handrail can make their running speed faster. In fact, this will reduce the training intensity and not achieve the desired effect.
Insufficient training intensity
When training on the treadmill, you can listen to music, read e-books, or watch videos, and it is convenient to drink water, so some runners are more casual, resulting in insufficient training intensity on the treadmill. To this end, runners should maintain the intensity of their training by increasing their running speed or increasing the inclination of the table. If you just do a simple run, you won’t be able to achieve the desired effect.
Stop running while the treadmill is running
This is the main reason why many runners get injured on the treadmill. If a runner needs to go to the toilet, get a towel, or drink water, and can’t jump off the treadmill, he should slow the machine down until it’s safe to do anything else. Of course, it’s best to keep the items you need on the treadmill before you start running, so it’s more convenient to use.
Always run at a constant pace
Running at one speed all the time on the treadmill won’t work because the body quickly adapts to this intensity of training and burns fewer calories. The speed and incline on the treadmill can be adjusted. By adjusting them, runners can perform various forms of training and constantly challenge the body to achieve the greatest effect.
