How Accurate is Garmin Indoor Run Mode on the Treadmill?

March 2, 2021

How Accurate is Garmin Indoor Run Mode on the Treadmill?

A common question I receive from many of my athletes regards treadmill running. This is a question that I’ve had myself and you have possibly had as well. Most runners use a Garmin or other GPS watch to track their runs - including for indoor running. The Run Indoor setting on many GPS watches allows you to track and record your treadmill run, just as you would an outdoor run. However, several of the runners I coach ask me about the accuracy of the Garmin Run Indoor mode. More often than not, ...

Essential Books for Running Coaches

A weekend or online certification is only the beginning of being a running coach. Run coaching requires a commitment to continual education and refinement of your training philosophy. The best approach? Read everything you can. These books are what I (and from what I have read, many other coaches) consider the essential texts for running coaches who train distance runners on the road.  Daniels’ Running Formula by Jack Daniels Daniels’ Running Formula is one of the seminal works of modern ...

Ask a Running Coach: Treadmill Running

For some runners, the treadmill is their lifeline for running. Others not-so-affectionately refer to it as the dreadmill. No matter what your opinion on the treadmill is, it's a useful training tool for runners everywhere. The treadmill makes winter running, training with infants and toddlers, and zero dark thirty runs more feasible for the casual runner and dedicated marathoner alike.  While it's the closest substitute to overground running, there are some physical and mental ...

Common Marathon Training Questions

June 26, 2019

Ask a Running Coach: Common Marathon Training Questions

No matter how many times you complete it or how fast you run, the marathon is always a challenge. Likewise, marathon training is always a puzzle of figuring out exactly how hard to push yourself to improve - without pushing yourself so hard that you overtrain or resent running by race day. On one end of the spectrum, you have cookie-cutter plans or overly rigorous methods. You must run six days per week, 60 miles per week, to run a marathon. You must spend 18 weeks training. On the other end, ...
