Premium Features of the Bodyguard T460XC
Decline Training
Decline-training on a treadmill opens up your workouts to range of new benefits. One of the most obvious is simply exercise variety. Decline training incorporates more quadriceps into your workout and hits your leg muscles in a different way to running on the flat. This will help improve the overall strength of your legs while also helping to make your workouts a little different, more challenging and helps to keep you motivated. As your running level advances, you will find some other wonderful benefits to incorporating decline training into your workouts. Here are just a few…
Improved Downhill Technique
By training regularly in a decline mode you will improve your downhill technique, which is great for your body and will improve your overall performance. Furthermore, regular Decline Training generally increases speed when a runner returns to the flat because the leg turnover (strides per minute) is increased due to the “downhill boost”. Your maximal stride rate is controlled by your neuromuscular system and downhill running teaches your nervous system to allow you to run fast. Like any other skill, this is best achieved through practice. Sprinters have trained with this technique for years to improve speed but distance runners also benefit by increasing cruising speed when they return to the flat after regular decline training.
Reduce Delayed-onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
If you have ever run the Boston Marathon, you have experienced firsthand the impact downhill running can have on your muscles. When running hard downhill, your muscles work eccentrically to resist the force of gravity, which causes microscopic damage to the muscle fibers and surrounding connective tissue. This leads to inflammation and muscle soreness. Although you will be sore after the first few workouts, training on downhills protects your muscles from future damage and soreness. The muscles not only repair, but are also better able to handle future demands because the adaptations that occur within the muscle. A session of downhill running every two to three weeks is enough to maintain those adaptations.
Up and Down Intervals
Uphills and downhills can be incorporated in the same workout by doing intervals in which you run up a hill hard, than sustain the intensity over the top and down the other side. If you make these intervals two – six minutes in duration (with a one to two minute recovery jog in between), these make excellent VO2 max workouts and can replace the ones in your normal training schedule. These training sessions are time-efficient as they incorporate the benefits of several different types or workouts, and reinforce the ability to maintain effort over the top of a hill and shifting technique to pick up speed on the downhill.
Race Simulation
If you are training for the Borgess Half Marathon, your muscles need to be able to handle the 2 mile descent from the start into downtown Kalamazoo. If you are training for the Boston Marathon, you need to be able to handle the descent from Wellesley into Newton Lower Falls at 15 miles, and the plunge into Boston proper after cresting Heartbreak Hill. If you are preparing for the ING New York City Marathon, your body needs to be ready for the downhill into Manhattan at 16 miles. It is important to try to simulate the descents that you will encounter in your goals races in terms of steepness, length, and where they fall within the race.
