Pyramid Treadmill Workout

Some things to keep in mind:

The speeds given for both the run and walk workouts should be used as a base. Adjust them to be faster or slower, depending on what works best for you.

If you want to incorporate BOTH the run and the walk workouts, try using the fast speeds in the run workout, and the recovery speeds in the walk workout.

If you’re pressed for time, or would rather have a more streamlined workout, without intervals, try this shorter, 35 minute variation:

Hope you don’t mind, I link back to this on it.
