Training For A Marathon Indoors: Why Treadmills Are Best For At-Home Workouts
Training for a marathon takes more than dedication—it takes the right tools. Here’s how a treadmill can help you stay consistent, injury-free and race-day ready.
(firmenpresse) - While by some metrics, Americans are becoming more sedentary than ever, an opposite trend in health and fitness has emerged in recent years—the rise of fun run, 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon, and ultramarathon runners.
And this rise has companies in the home fitness and exercise space, like SOLE Fitness, asking what fitness technologies and innovations are needed to keep pace with this boom—and to keep you on track for race day success.
Are You A Marathon Runner?As Livestrong recently reported, if you’re a runner, you join about 50 million Americans who now run or jog, about 15% of the nation’s population. Moreover, if you’re increasingly into collecting medals at some of the world’s most iconic races like Boston, Chicago, or New York, as the latest State of Running Report by RunRepeat and World Athletics verified, race participation worldwide—including at the marathon level—has grown by more than 50% in the last decade.
Recreational, regular, and long-distance running are positively associated with a myriad of health benefits, including reducing the risk of death from all causes. However, as recent research in sports medicine has shown, at any given time, almost 25% of marathon runners are injured, with knees, ankles, Achilles tendons, feet, and calves experiencing injury most frequently.
Are You Protecting Your Body & Your Joints?If you’re dealing with these types of injuries, you’ll be happy to know that this is why some home treadmill brands are piloting new technologies to improve the ergonomics of their treadmills—especially the support and protection they offer to the joints of your lower body.
While it has been proven that the ideal running surfaces have some give, like grass, the reality is that most runners live in urban environments that either place them on the concrete sidewalk or the asphalt road.
This is why, despite what you may think, a treadmill could actually be one of the best choices you make for your body as you prepare for a marathon. For example, SOLE Fitness has announced that they are debuting a new Cushion Flex Whisper Deck in some of their models, which has been developed to reduce impact up to 40%, as compared to running on asphalt.
Other Reasons A Treadmill Is A Good Choice For TrainingGiven that sedentary lifestyles are associated with poor health outcomes, the most important thing is to keep up (or start!) that running habit, ideally in a supportive way that cushions your joints.
The good news is that if you live by a scenic park or a long, inviting beach, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, because most good treadmills today can harmonize your outdoors and indoors workouts. This is thanks to now-popular features like heart rate monitoring, Bluetooth connectivity, and integration with popular fitness apps, which allow you to track progress more effectively and fine-tune your training.
If you’re training for your next marathon, other technologies and features to look for in a treadmill include built-in training programs that mimic real-world race conditions, such as incline adjustments, which can help prepare you for hills and varied terrain.
Runners may also want to look for larger running decks to accommodate longer strides, higher weight capacities for durability, and quiet motors designed for extended use.
Thinking About At-Home Marathon Training?Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or simply building endurance, investing in the right treadmill can help you train consistently, protect your joints, and keep you motivated year-round.
With features designed to replicate outdoor running and support long-distance goals, at-home training has never been more accessible.
