| "Q: Could you explain why you incline the treadmill to better simulate the track you'll be using? Like, is the track up and down, etc. I myself almost ALWAYS work the treadmill at an incline, just my preference. More exertion in less time. And if you might want to try making your training HARDER than what's required on the agility test. Easy for ME to say, <5 weeks from your test"

I find that the tread mill when level is easier to run on than a track. I use the incline to try and duplicate the amount of effort required for a track. I jog for 17 minutes and then walk for 8 minutes more to cool down. With the incline I jog for 8 minutes and then must walk a minute before resuming the run. I will get there but it is not easy.
BTW: thanks for the reply |
