People who run on a Treadmill.....

what incline do you run on?

I start at .05 and move up to 2.0. I am just wondering if I should go higher?

I start at 1.5 and 1/2 way through I put it down to 1.0. If I'm in a really challenging mood I'll put it up to 3 or 4 but not for too long.

So you start on a higher incline? I may try that and then go lower.

I only use the incline when I am training for a race...otherwise I keep it on 0%.

Yes. I always start out at some incline to mimick outside a little more. With the treadmill pushing your feet along, you don't get the same challenge as you would outdoors. So as I'm running I feel guilty thinking of that so that's why I put it up higher. Chat Icon

2 (you are correct you need an incline to account for hills/wind/etc.)

That's what I read somewhere, that you need to do incline to kinda match running outside.

I don't think doing an inclice of 1-2 is going to build your leg muscles. How if you were walking a 15 incline, then I'd agree with the trainer.

I dont know, Im clueless with that stuff. But Ive been to 2 different gyms with trainers ( 4 of them- they would change when I renewed) and they all said the same thing to me, cause I thought if I inclined I would burn more off but they said no I would build more leg and fast.
