When it comes to leveling up your running game, the Technogym Skillrun is a game-changer. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced runner, this treadmill offers innovative features to help you push your limits. Today, we're diving into two key methods to increase your run speed using the Technogym treadmill.

Method 1: Boost Cardio with High-Low Blocks

One of the most efficient ways to improve your speed is by using the Boost Cardio mode with High-Low Blocks. This mode is perfect if you want to automate your speed training and focus more on your form and endurance.

How It Works:

  • After signing in on the Technogym Skillrun, select Custom and then choose Boost Cardio.

  • Opt for High-Low Blocks, where you can set your preferred time duration and fitness level. This fitness level determines the speed variations between high and low blocks, offering a tailored workout experience.

  • For beginners, I recommend starting with a lower fitness level—say, around 1 to 7 —and gradually increasing it as you become more comfortable with the routine.

This mode automates your interval training, increasing speed during high blocks and reducing it during low blocks. It allows you to maintain focus on your technique and breathing while the treadmill takes care of the speed adjustments.

Method 2: Speed Shift for Manual Control

If you prefer more control over your workout, the Speed Shift mode is for you. This feature lets you manually adjust your running speed, making it ideal for those who want to dictate the pace of their training.

How It Works:

  • Start by selecting Custom on the Technogym Skillrun, then choose Boost Cardio followed by Speed Shift.

  • You’ll be prompted to set two speeds—Speed 1 and Speed 2. For example, you could set Speed 1 at a 12-minute mile pace and Speed 2 at a more challenging 6:58-minute mile pace.

  • Once you start, you can manually toggle between these speeds using the paddle on the treadmill.

This method gives you the flexibility to control how long you stay at each speed, allowing you to customize your intervals based on how you’re feeling during the workout. It’s a great way to build up your speed and endurance over time, with full control over the intensity.

Why These Methods Work

Both methods on the Technogym Skillrun are designed to help runners of all levels increase their speed and overall athleticism. High-Low Blocks provide a structured, automated way to engage in interval training, which is well-known for boosting cardiovascular health and enhancing speed. On the other hand, Speed Shift offers a more manual, customizable approach, letting you tailor your workout to meet your specific needs.

By incorporating these techniques into your treadmill routine, you’ll not only challenge your body but also keep your workouts fresh and engaging. At LevelUP 24/7 Smart Gym, we’re committed to providing the tools and technology you need to achieve your fitness goals.

Whether you’re training for an upcoming race or just looking to improve your overall fitness, the Technogym Skillrun offers the versatility and functionality to help you succeed. So next time you hit the gym, give these methods a try and see how they can help you run faster, stronger, and smarter.
