How to do a assault run

Setup:

1. Position: Step onto the curved deck of the self-propelled treadmill (like an AssaultRunner or TrueForm).
2. Posture: Stand tall with your chest up and look forward.

The Run:

1. Initiate: Begin walking by taking small steps. The belt will start to move under your feet. There are no buttons to press.
2. Increase Speed: To speed up, lean forward slightly and increase your stride rate and length. The further up the curve you step, the faster the belt will move.
3. Maintain Speed: Find the 'sweet spot' on the curve to maintain your desired pace.
4. Form: Focus on a midfoot or forefoot strike. The curved design encourages better running mechanics.
5. Slow Down: To slow down or stop, simply slow your pace and drift back towards the lower, flatter part of the curve.

Tips:

• Self-propelled treadmills are more demanding than motorized ones, so your pace may be slower.
• They are excellent for sprint intervals due to the instant response to your effort.
