Answer 1

it depends whether you want to be a short distance runner or a long distance runner

if short distance, you should run for about 16 minutes at a 5.5 speed 0.0 incline/decline

and rest after you finish this

because your body can't take too much stress

if long distance, you should run about 30 minutes at a 3.5 speed 0.0 incline/decline

and also rest

Answer 2

your kidding right?

3.0 speed is walking not running and if you WALK at 3.0 speed it would only take you 20 minutes to do a mile not an hour an hour would be walking on 1.0 speed

5.0 speed is a 12 minute mile

get of the treadmill though go run outside it is so much easier and better for you

Answer 3

wow on a treadmill!

Answer 4

Treadmill? Pshh. Run outside, you can determine your pace based on how you feel.

Its also proven that running on different terrain is more effective!

Answer 5

Its the same distance.

BuT.. the faster paced one is better for you.

But there is no way it takes you an hour to run a mile

and theres no way it takes you 20 mins to run a mile

my suggestion.. run as long as you can at 7 mph on 3.0 incline
