BOSTON MARATHON TREADMILL FEATURES

The BOSTON MARATHON

treadmill is a performance

training tool for runners. Following are some of the fea-

tures that make it the best training treadmill available:

Running Metronome—The console features a run-

ning metronome that enables you to easily pace

yourself and maintain a fluid motion while running.

Simply select the desired pace, and match your strides

to the beat. You can improve your running efficiency

by focusing on the following four fundamentals of good

running form:

1. No heel strike

2. Your foot landing under your bent knee

3. A slightly forward-leaning posture

4. A running cadence of 180 or greater

Speed Ring—An innovative speed ring is integrated

with the BOSTON MARATHON treadmill controls. The

comfortable and lightweight wireless speed ring can be

worn on your finger and used to change the treadmill

speed without interrupting your stride. This is espe-

cially useful for interval and repetition training, where

large speed changes are required while running at high

speeds.

Real Road Setting—Running on a treadmill requires a

slightly smaller energy expenditure than running on the

road. This is due to the lack of wind resistance and the

energy return from the spring in the walking platform.

The BOSTON MARATHON treadmill can be configured

to adjust for these factors so that running on the tread-

mill requires the same energy expenditure as running

on the road.

Runner’s Flex Cushion—The runner’s flex cushion

system can be turned on or off to provide different

types of training.

• On—Provides extremely effective impact reduc-

tion. This is very effective for long runs that are

designed to increase aerobic capacity and muscle

adaptations. The impact absorption dramatically

increases the comfort of the run so that you can run

much longer and achieve the desired adaptation.

This also reduces recovery time so that you can

come back and train the next day.

• Off—Provides a fully firm platform to use for interval

training (to increase VO2 max) and repetition train-

ing (to increase running efficiency). The firm surface

assures that in this type of training, your muscles

are recruited correctly to achieve the desired

adaptation.

Ergonomics—The BOSTON MARATHON treadmill

ergonomics are specifically designed for serious run-

ners. The handlebars are within easy reach if needed

but are out of the way to allow for natural strides. The

walking belt length is 5 ft. 2 in. (157 cm) to encourage

full, natural strides for effective training.

15.0 MPH—For the first time, advances in treadmill

drive systems allow you to run at a 4-minute-mile (15

MPH) pace using a standard 120-volt AC, 15-amp

plug. This pace is a critical training tool for runners

to increase their VO2 max and running efficiency for

improved race performance.

Incline Range of -6% to 20%—The extreme range

of incline is designed to provide real terrain training.

This allows you to train all muscle groups to properly

prepare for the race course. The decline also allows

for “over speed” training to improve your leg turn-over

while working within your target intensity range.

Core Cooling Fans—Two high-volume fans are posi-

tioned to blow correctly on your core to keep your body

temperature down. Core body cooling is especially

critical during long runs designed to create aerobic

capacity and muscle adaptation. If your body tempera-

ture rises, more blood must be diverted to your skin to

transfer off excess heat. This increases your stress and

decreases how long you can run.
