Speed Training vs. Distance

Running at the track is fun, but inconvenient and many of us have schedules that are too busy to squeeze time in at the local track. Outdoor running routines can be done on treadmills indoors, however, some of the variables of running outdoors are hard to simulate through running on a treadmill indoors. For instance, one of our favorite clients was telling me her story of assimilation from running at her son's high school track, to running indoors. Her routine consisted of running 8 laps around the track, 5 days a week. She would sprint the corners and jog the straight aways and was curious as to how she could optimally replicate that exact routine on her Life Fitness 95Ti treadmill, which has turned her basement into a smaller version of the track at her son's school. We are looking for more stories like this. Detailed workout routines that have been traditionally performed outdoors, but have been translated to the indoor gym environment.
