Tabata fever: Treadmill
Ah, so Tabata training CAN be performed on a treadmill.
This is a run Tabata on treadmills done at 12% grades, and an appropriate speed for the individual. They will start with a warm-up and then get into 20:10 x 8! Foot pull speed is very important as the slower the pull you will begin to push and end up fatiguing much sooner.

20:10 is the typical Tabata interval (20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest).
Speeds used: 7 - 7.5mph.
Not that I will actually have much access to a treadmill over the Christmas period. Hmm, will have to translate it to a track somewhere…
