Question

Good speed for 2 miles on a treadmill for begginer?

Answer 1

Start at speed 4  remember distance of  one mile is approx  1.6 on visual indicator.            Increase speed as you improve.

Answer 2

Well, forget the other answers telling you that running on a track is great - thats not what you are asking is it?

Most people walk at 3 to 4 miles an hour. Im assuming that you want to jog or run on the treadmill - so anything faster than 4mph is a good speed (of course, your treadmill might measure in km, so multiply these numbers by 1.6, 4mph is about 6.4kmh)

Dont use the speed indicator as much for a couple of runs, use what your body is telling you. For example, if you want to jog on the treadmill, use a speed that makes you think you can still have a conversation. If you want to run in the treadlmill (the difference is speed), run at an effort where you think you can answer questions with short andwers, but not have a conversation. After a couple of runs you can use the speed indicator to set the speed as to what you were running at before.

As a rough guide though, double walking speed would be good - 2 miles in 20 mins (6mph). Most women in my gym run along between 5.5 and 6.5mph if that helps you

Answer 3

treadmill tell you nothing. Get on a track

Answer 4

A good speed is one that you feed comfortable with. I guess it also depends on your age, fitness, weight etc. Run at 10km/h for a bit, and if that feels easy increase it in 0.5 km/h intervals until you find the right pace for you that you both enjoy but still find challenging.

12 km/hr is the pace for a 50min 10k run which i always think is a benchmark.

A treadmill is easier than running on the road, but if you set the incline to 1% this roughly equates to running on a flat road.

Answer 5

Although treadmills aren't very good when training for track, you might still be able to get accurate times.

I don't know what type of beginner you are. Some beginners run 12 minutes miles; some run 7 minute miles. When I started, I ran an 8:40 mile, so go for that.

Answer 6

treadmill is easier and it fools you!!! run on flat road and you will get a much better prediction of you're time and for a begginer not done much running under 20 min would be good.
