TRAINING INSTRUCTION

Training directions

Running is a very efficient form of fitness training. With the tread-

mill, you can go through controlled and regulated running exerci-

ses at home, no matter what the weather is like outside. The tread-

mill is suitable not only for jogging, but also for walking exercise.

Before you start training, you should read the following notes!

Planning and controlling your running training

The basis for planning your training is your current physical fitn-

ess. With an endurance test, your physician can diagnose your

personal capability, upon which you will base your training plan.

If you have not had an endurance test, you must at any rate avoid

high training loads or overload.

You should remember the following principle for the training plan:

Endurance training is regulated both by the extent of the load and

the amount / intensity of the load.

Guidelines for endurance training

Load intensity

The load intensity during running training is preferably monitored

by your heart’s pulse rate.

Maximum pulse: maximum load is the term used when the indivi-

dual maximum heart rate has been reached. The maximum reach-

able heart rate depends on age.

The rule of thumb here is: the maximum heart rate per minute

equals 220 beats minus your age.

Example: age 50 years > 220 -50 = 170 beats/min.

Load pulse:

The optimum load intensity is reached at 65 – 75% of the indivi-

dual cardiovascular performance (see diagram).

65% = aim of training is to burn fat

75% = aim of training is to improve fitness

This value changes depending on age.

The intensity during training is regulated with the treadmill firstly

by running speed and secondly by the incline angle of the tread.

The physical load increases at higher speeds. It also increases if

the incline angle is increased. If you are a beginner, avoid too

high a running pace or training with the tread inclined too steep-

ly, otherwise you could quickly exceed the recommended heart

rate range. You should set your individual running pace and inc-

line angle when training on the treadmill such that you reach your

optimum heart rate according to the indications above. While run-

ning, monitor whether you are training within your intensity range

by your heart rate.

Extent of load

Duration of one training unit and number of units per week:

he optimum extent of load is reached when 65 – 75% of the indi-

idual cardiovascular performance is reached over a long period.

Rule of thumb:

Beginners should not begin with training units of 30 – 60 minutes.

Beginner training can be arranged in intervals for the first 4

weeks:

daily 10 minutes

2–3 times a week 20–30 minutes
