I miss my treadmill.ย I know the general consensus is that treadmill workouts are painstakingly boring, but having a purposeful workout will keep your mind and body engaged, propel your fitness, and make your treadmill workout fly by.
This workout utilizes 5 minutes blocks where 3 minutes are ‘speed’ and 2 minutes are recovery. ย By changing things up every 2 to 3 minutes there is no time to fall into the dreaded treadmill trance.
The workout below is completely adaptable to your fitness level–be sure to read the tips section to determine if you are working hard enough or too hard. ย Feel free to substitute the recovery jog with a walk if you are a beginner.
Linkup below if you have a workout, fitness find or healthy recipe to share! Just make sure to link back or grab the badge and we will make sure to spread the inspiration around ๐
Also linking up with Jill Conyers for Fitness Friday!

Great workout Michelle. Speed work is my favorite type of training run even when it has to be done on a treadmill. Pinning ๐

I don’t do much speed work right now but I like how you have this structured and it seems very doable on the treadmill. Thanks for the linkup!

Speed workouts are awesome! Thanks for stopping by! ๐
Hello Michelle, I read your blog and itโs fantastic. I use treadmill in my morning excises but I was not that much clear about their speed intervals and I always used a constant speed. But you have shared about their speed intervals and it is really good so I will keep in mind and do the same. Thanks ๏
