Here’s another treadmill workout to add to your collection!
800’s & 400’s
This workout starts with a 1-mile warm-up and then moves onto four 800’s with a 1/4 mile jog in between. When you don’t think you can do another 800, the workout drops down to four 400’s at the same pace with a 1/4 mile jog in between. For a 6-mile treadmill run, this workout really flew by!
For those of you following along with my half marathon training for the Rock ‘N’ Roll USA, I updated my training page this morning. My coach is still waiting to hear back from the CrossFit Endurance folks about a half training plan, so I’m just winging it for now. Hopefully, I’ll have some news soon.

Thanks for the treadmill workout Tina! I love new ideas to keep my work outs fresh! Usually they are still a little too challenging for me, but I love having a goal to work toward!
@Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life: With all of my workouts, you can subtract 0.5 – 2.0 from the MPH to fit your current fitness level!
These cold winter days makes me wish I still had a treadmill!
I needed this workout when I had to do my speed work for my marathon training at the gym on Tuesday. Looks great!
Anything that makes 6 miles on a treadmill sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
that is a super speedy 6 miles! going to try that tomorrow morning… if i can dig out of this snow to get to the gym!
Thanks for another great treadmill workout! Intervals always make the time go faster on the treadmill
Great interval workout! Your speeds are always killer lol, I don’t know how long I could hack 7.5 MPH haha…Your a rockstar with these runs
looks like a great treadmill workout! i have a 5-6 miler tomorrow, so i’ll probably use this!
I’ve been loving your CFE workouts you have been posting and I can’t wait to try this one now!!!
Awesome workout! Happy Friday!
Perfect timing on posting this 6 miler! I have 6 miles on the schedule for tomorrow and the weather is going to make me run it indoors. I’ve done a couple of your recent treadmill workouts and loved them both…keep on postin!
I’m always looking for new ways to spice it up on the treadmill. Thanks for info!
Ohhh that treadmill workout looks awesome! Thanks for sharing it – adding it to my dreadmill collection as we speak
Definitely will be using this treadmill routine for upcoming training runs for my half marathon. I ran outside this morning but it can just be toooo cold sometimes!
Another good one! Trying this out tonight, thanks
@Liz@EatSaveTravel: Hey, I met your sister at CrossFit earlier this week! Small world!
This sounds pretty good to me, maybe I’ll give it a try on my speed training run next week!
LOVE this one–thanks! I love when the treadmill stuff flies by
That workout looks intense!
P.S. I really love it when you share your workouts and workout journals with us!
How long did this workout take you approximately? I have such trouble spending more than 30 mins on a treadmill but with this weather I better get used to it!
@Sarah: Hi! I did this workout today actually (nearly exactly as Tina described – though I upped the speed just a bit for those last few 400m repeats) and it took about 50 minutes total.
Great workout – thank you for sharing!
@Sarah: It took me 53 minutes.
Ugh I just don’t know if I could be on the treadmill that long. What’s your entertainment? Awesome workout though!
Awesome workout! I actually compete on a track team, and what we do sometimes is the same thing but in the order of 800, 400, repeated 4 times.
i love when you post your treadmill workouts, b/c I write them down and then do them at the gym. please keep them coming!!
She told me! Too funny. I know Danielle very well too, we went to high school together, very small world!
Great workout!!
Wow good for you! 400 and 800 workouts were my LEAST favorite in track!
Something to do with a treadmill other than hang laundry!
That’s a great treadmill run. If I can motivate myself to get past the 3.5 mile marker on the treadmill I’ll give that one a shot, but recently I’ve been maxing out at that mileage. Just can’t mentally seem to go past that much indoors!
Hmm I think I need to give the treadmill a second chance…
Awesome. I love it when ppl share their workouts. Keeps me from spending money on one!! Thanks!
Loved the treadmill workout! Will def do it again this week!!! Keep postin!! Thank u
What is your normal pace? I am just wondering how to adapt the speed to my pace which is a bit slower than yours!
Thanks!
Usually, 6.5-7.0.
