by Derek LaLonde, Rob Sacchetto (Illustrator), Paul DeWitt (Foreword)

Do you have a love/hate relationship with your treadmill? If so, you are SO not alone. While treadmills offer many conveniences they can be so damn boring. Well treadmill junkie Derek will show you how treadmill training doesn't have to be an exercise in tolerance any longer! In fact, you'll learn how a treadmill can actually be your secret weapon to achieving the next level in your running career or simply the key to finally burning off those stubborn calories. Many elements go into sticking to a training program in order to meet your goals and Derek shares his time tested treadmill setup, workouts and training strategies to show you how to pick the right goals in the first place and then set yourself in motion...the very same strategies that helped him to clinch the world record for the fastest 50km on a treadmill, a record that held for 5 years. With vibrant illustrations from world-renowned zombie artist Rob Sachetto, this book is jam packed with helpful tips and tricks to keep you moving forward towards your finish lines!

I don’t hate the treadmill as much as I used to, and this book had many suggestions for how to use it, why use it, how to calibrate it, and how to set it up ( including a smart way to incorporate declines on a TM without this feature). Would have liked more on how pro athletes use treadmills, or other novel approaches to its use, rather than Running 101 type information (easy, tempo, lactate threshold, etc) that is in every other intermediate running book. We need more treadmill!
