Max: ~7 minutes.
kludge
Probibly 15 mins at 5MPH non-stop.

Thats my limit in terms of endurance.

Haha, how fast are you going for 7 minutes??

I run on a treadmill everyday before I work out, anywhere from 15-30 minutes and gradually increase the speed.

It's pretty boring to say the least...
BiblicalWhore
6MPH
kludge

What sort of entertainment do you have when you run?

I listen to bassing, booming techno to get my $hit motivated.

I dont use Treamills and DONT USE ENTERTAINMENT. My entertainment is my mouth. i can whistle or hum. I wonder why many people need ipods or stuff when you can just use your mouth

Breathing is an important part to running/jogging. Whistling or humming distracts you from proper breathing.


And if you do this outside, others will think you're crazy.

Once in a blue moon do I jog. I'm getting better now, I jog once a month for about 40 min @ 4mph.

10 seconds.. no wait actually 10 seconds is probably pushing it.. 7.8 seconds should be about right
Aoi_Zora
don't jog so much now cause I'm preggie, but 30-40 mins. non-stop at 5~6mph was pretty easy for me. 50 mins.+ is tough since I'd have to MAKE myself run. Tho...if I do intervals (run/jog).....I could probably do about 3 hrs befor my feet felt like dying. bawling.gif

Treadmills are self-defeating because if you just stand beside the person running on the treadmill, you can keep up a conversation without moving your feet at all. The scenery doesn't change. It also often seems that treadmills are hosued in closed spaces too, and the air-quality can get a little muggy in comparison to the outdoors, although indoors might be preferable in Bangkok training times.

To get a start at the front row for the fun runs and marathons, and be classed as A grade, you need to put in sub-40 minute 10 km times consistently. That means you're running 250m every minute, one kilometre in four minutes, and fifteen kilometres in an hour. Personally, 20km was about the longest I could keep up that pace, but bear in mind that involves hillclimbs and traffic crossings that you don't get on treadmills. If you're on a treadmill, you should be able to go all day. I mean you can keep a glass of water right there for if you get thirsty.

Now, with this damned illness, I don't need no treadmill at all to feel like dying. It's an everyday natural gift, but I'd rather run in the street when I get healthy again. beerchug.gif

Well there's generally two things I do, I make a bunch of different playlists on my Ipod, mostly rock or metal and what not. And there's mirrors in front of a couple of the treadmills at the gym so I will just watch my form. That tends to keep my occupied until I'm done and then the real work out begins beerchug.gif

it really varies for me.. at times i can go 20+ mins at over 6+mph while other times i can only do a few mins at 6mph.. If i go consistently then I can go real long.. but i haven't ran on trendmill in years.. I much rather do cardio by playing bball for hours or swim.
miss_merisha

chanoi

I use treadmill before I start working out.

In about 20 to 30 mins. As a warm up though .
Najjiah

we have to run on the street. but i don't mind the track. the treadmill is good if you don't have any choices or if you want to force a certain time.
Ecthelion
I little off topic, but does anyone else feel that there is a "sweet spot speed" when running? For me if I run slower than a certain pace it's tiring and if I run faster it's also tiring. But at that perfect pace, I can go on for miles and miles...
BiblicalWhore
I'm up to 8 minutes now.
Ichigo_Zangetsu
I don't know this art of "running"
I hunch when i have to power walk... takes it out of you to breathe

Depends on the speed lol

If it's just moderate jogging speed I can run forever before it gets too boring.......just give me an MP3 player! biggthumpup.gif mp3 player is a must though.

If it's high intensity sprinting speeds....not too long.
