Ok, now that we've established that interval training is the best way to be spending your time on the treadmill, here are some great interval training treadmill workouts. I know you'll enjoy them and find them both challenging and invigorating compared to traditional long, boring cardio workouts.

Each of these running workouts should begin with a light 5 minute warm-up (ie. jogging). Note as well that these interval training workouts are fairly challenging so give them a shot and see how you do.

 

Treadmill Workout #1 - Long Duration Interval Training 

Work = 4 minutes @ 85% 
Recovery = 2 minutes @ 65%

Repeat 4 times for a total of 24 minutes.

 

Treadmill Workout #2 - High Intensity Interval Training

Work = 1 minute @ 95%
Recovery = 1 minute @ 65%

Repeat 10 times for a total of 20 minutes

 

Treadmill Workout #3 - Super High Intensity Interval Training

Work = 30 seconds @ 100%
Recovery = 1 minute @ 65%

Repeat 10 times for a total of 15 minutes.
