re: I nearly did a mile on treadmill today

Do this 10-20 times. It'll make a man outta you.

This or find a high school or a levee and get busy.

1/2 mile on 6.0. Walk 1 minute on 3.0. Two minutes straight on 7.0. Walk 1 minute on 3.0. Two minutes straight on 7.5. Walk 1 minute on 3.0. 8.0 for 30 seconds, 8.5 for 30 seconds. Walk 30 seconds on 3.0. 8.5 for 30 seconds, 9.0 for 30 seconds. Walk 30 seconds on 3.0. 9.5 for 30 seconds, 10.0 for 30 seconds. Walk 30 seconds on 3.0...Repeat x1. (You should end up at about 2 miles after 1 cycle and should be around the 20-21 minute mark.)

All on 1.5 incline.

Distance running is a waste for most. Incorporate sprints into your running and shed a lot more weight a lot faster, while toning also.

Or this. I prefer the treadmill because I'm already at the gym, and I can better control the speed and distance on the treadmill.

I stick with intervals and just track what I do. My goal is to always improve on each workout. Even if it's just marginally bc it will add up.

That could mean the same workout with one notch steeper on incline. Or 5 seconds shorter rest periods. Or a tiny bit faster. Or same workout, but just one more interval.

If you track it accurately, at the end of the month you will see gains across the board and will be very rewarding. So, always be improving is my motto. Works for me.
