This is how it should be done. As you retire and before you loose all your inability to train. You teach the next generation your secrets to success. Thanks Mo.
So who do you think would win, a doped up genetic freak or a doped up normal person? If the sport is reasonably clean (don't know which sport that would be), then genetics and training prevails. If not you need additional help. And why would you sleep in an oxygen chamber, to lower endogenous epo? lol I bet that you couldn't break 2.20 marathon after 10 years of quality training and the best drugs in the world.
You’re a legend Mo. No other athlete has a genuine desire to share “insider knowledge”. This is what sport is about, you’re an inspiration to me as a runner and a role model for any athlete for any sport
Could you talk about the mental side of running and the pressure that you underwent being favorited in so many races over so many years. So amazing thank you for this insight so cool!!
Absolute legend mo…just getting my treadmill sorted out now in time for the winter so no impact on my training…have to confess that after a year of training on roads and trails I am slightly hesitant to get back on the treadmill as feels like a step backward but I think benefits in winter outweigh disadvantages 👍
The regular diet you're on when training. Foods for energy and recovery. Pre race meals, pre long run/track workout meals. Different meals you eat throughout the day to stay in tip top shape.
Mo's coach Alberto Salazar is a big believer in treadmills and has written a book about treadmill running. Salazar used to run about 1/2 of his weekly mileage on treadmills in prep for his Comrades win.
@@wriches No it isn't! It's 9 km. It's clearly a metric machine. He's asked for his kg weight. Also, when talking about pace he clearly points to the machine he's using saying "some machines give you the kilometer pace" - which matches the speed showing. "how fast do you go first mile?" "Reeeally slow" really slow isn't 9 miles per hour. Look at the number when he can't get by with just walking. It's just 7....which is about right at 7km per hour. He can't walk casually at 7 miles an hour! Then he moves up to 9.....which is an easy saunter.
First I did run from 8 to 9, 10, 11.5, 12.5 and I had 5km's in 27 minutes. Now, I wanted to achieve 5km's in 24 minutes and started right the way from second 1, running 12.5, so that I could reach my goal in 24 minutes. Very bad idea, I stopped right the way after 4 minutes running 12.5 without any warm-up. I will do it today again, I will do it as I did it the first time but better and follow your example. Thanks mate!
Thank you very much for sharing your insight, as an aspiring distance runner and adaptive athlete I'm finding this channel very useful in making tweak into my training regimen so thank you again!
Bought a treadmill to strengthen hamstring tendons both sides and jog again, hopefully to get back to some Park Run 5k's once again. It's handles support my weight while I'm still able to jog/run a little, the flex is also softer than jogging out in the streets. Mo's a great so he certainly does know. Running a slight incline to save the knees is something to bear in mind, thanks Mo.
Nice thanks for the advice and the info I've been on a treadmill for about a year and a half I used to weigh 275 lb now I weigh 198 lb just doing the treadmill I usually run between 4 to 6 Miles every morning
he make it look so easy and it is so hard for the normal person-watching this videos should teach us a lesson to do the best we can do because we all know mo is a freak abilities- mo is a beast - mo go mo
Hi Mo, I discovered something awesome recently, my flat out 5k time on a treadmill was 20:30 and when I decided to modulate the speeds from 17kmh for 5 mins the 3 mins 14.5, 2 mins 17, 3 mins 14.5 etc etc I immediately got down to low 19 mins! The 14.5kmh 3 mins zones acting as a recovery phase helped me hang on. Is this a recognised way of running? After a year of no improvement I improved by over a minute in a week!!
Thank you so much for posting this... I was getting discouraged of all the work I've been doing on the treadmill it was getting monotonous, specially that I can't run outside ... But now after watching this I'm motivated to get back on it
Thanks for the video Mo. It's good to see that even the best use a treadmill. I always feel guilty when I use a treadmill, like it's not a proper workout. Now I feel less guilty :)
Nice training tips mo Can I request for some breathing tips as well as diet plans.. I'm sure it will help a lot And I always look up to u first as my idolYou're the best of the best.! Keep up mo We are loving it n we all love u😘👌From your supporters here in Malaysia
Hi Mo! Here's a training idea for you where you could also show awesome support for grass root athletics. At Watford, they run graded open races over 800m. There's usually about 20 races, starting at 2:40 ish, and getting up to 1:50 ish at the end. You could turn up (un-announced!) and make the pace for every race. Think about it. You get to inspire well over 200 track athletes of all abilities, who will all be able to say they ran with you, whilst getting in a useful 20 x 800m track session for yourself!
Wow you are coolest people I know you always the best marathon 🏃 I am from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 but I will always cheer for you and for all great runners in the world. I also like your British accent wow you are the best. And god bless you dear Farrah 😀
Thanks Mo for all of the tips and advice. Love it. Fire your editor though... or at least tell them not to put things like “MANY miles later” when you ran for 5 minutes. (There is a clock on the wall). They don’t need to lie for you, you have proven yourself over and over, which is why we all appreciate these videos.
Thanks for another one Mo. Could you do one on 400m and 200m track intervals to train for 5k/10k events, please? How long are your warmups before you get going? How many do you? At what pace (threshold/anerobic)? Do you split them into sets of 10 each for example. And do you jog in between the intervals or walk? How often: once per week or bimonthly? Etc. Thank you, Sir!
I've made the mistake of trying to set off at 10mph (16kph) and hold it for 30 mins which is 5 miles tempo pace. I can do this outside on a good day but on the treadmill I was nackered after 10mins. Although now I ease into the run more like Mo said and it works much better.
I find treadmills much harder compared to outside. The treadmill bounces around too much and you're using energy trying to stay on at higher speeds that should otherwise be spent on your running economy.
William G You don't believe me? Well that's your problem, it's not particularly impressive to run a 30 min 8k on road surface, if you have trouble believing that then you should get out more.
It's in miles/hour. At 2:00 he changes his speed to 11.2 and the figure in the middle of the display becomes 5'21, which is the time taken per mile. Mo can easily do this, whereas 5'21 for a kilometer would be painfully slow for him.
Mr. Farah: Common cold/coughing .. etc is probably a time when every athlete should stop training till they feel better. What do you usually do when you, god forbids, get ill? Do you take medication or do you just wait until illness goes away by itself? How do you get back to training after (e.g. pace, how gradual, etc) ? Could you please discuss that?
I had a totally unorthadox training routine -where I ran 12k barefoot every morning & 8k substantially faster on the treadmill slightly uphill ---I won tons of 5&10k races off this training---running on pavement only in the race--WOW---traction! Strong feet are the basis for speed. I did a set of 6 mile repeats under 5 after a 20K barefoot long run. Not for everybody--but, as Haile Gebresalassie recently opined after being asked if the new 4% + Nike energy shoes were cheating? " all shoes are cheating!" Check Rome Olympics where Abebe Bikila won the marathon over cobblestoned streets ----yep---BAREFOOT (2:12) simply fabulous!
Hey Mo, thanks for the great videos and advice! Could you talk about when and how to start transitioning to speed work from more strength based training at the end of the season? Thanks!
Hi Mo, I’m a big fan and have just started trying to run competitively. I’m stuck at 20.18 5k time and can’t seem to improve what would be you biggest tip to improve on this?
Thanks for your inspiration! There are now also curved treadmills - I like the idea, but are they suitable for long-distance training. Because you run in the curve to accelerate. Does this have a negative impact on the foot position and the muscles because of the different angle. Does anyone know?
Mo, what is your mindset in your daily life as you are working for a race and the day of the race? Also, what is a good schedule for running competitively, like how many miles a week should you do, and what other trainings help you improve?
Hi Mo A lot of coaches discourage runners (especially sprinters)from using treadmills because they say it teaches the athletes to pull rather than push; what’s your take on that?
Hey Mo, can you do us a video on calf training please? What exercises do you do for them? Also keen to know what, if anything you do to keep your feet strong. Thanks!
![How To Run On A Treadmill - [4 Tips to Get Better Data]](/img/1.gif)
This is how it should be done. As you retire and before you loose all your inability to train. You teach the next generation your secrets to success. Thanks Mo.
Nico Nico ah, you're "that" guy, mister know-it-all. Sure man we believe you.
No secret, be born a freak of nature genetics wise, train hard for about 8 years and supplement some PEDs if you're close but not number one.
So who do you think would win, a doped up genetic freak or a doped up normal person? If the sport is reasonably clean (don't know which sport that would be), then genetics and training prevails. If not you need additional help. And why would you sleep in an oxygen chamber, to lower endogenous epo? lol
I bet that you couldn't break 2.20 marathon after 10 years of quality training and the best drugs in the world.
TheSteinbitt oh shut up
hahahahaa what secrets
I’m a baby runner, at age 47 I finally broke 10 min per mile for one mile. Watching you is humbling and awe inspiring... keep it up!
what are you at now?
That was really good advice to dial in some incline on the treadmill to protect the knees. Thanks !
Yeah he mentioned 0.5 incline right?
You’re a legend Mo. No other athlete has a genuine desire to share “insider knowledge”. This is what sport is about, you’re an inspiration to me as a runner and a role model for any athlete for any sport
I’m a 14 year old runner and can now do 5k in 18:54 and am aiming to get in down to 18:30 thanks Mo you are my inspiration
Damn you fast ask
Do a video on how to recover well after workouts please!!!
Could you talk about the mental side of running and the pressure that you underwent being favorited in so many races over so many years. So amazing thank you for this insight so cool!!
i absolutely hate it when gyms have their treadmills facing the wall. who wants to stare at a blank wall for 20+ minutes?
GospelGuy I do, I feel more comfortable that way
But who wants to be flung into a wall if they trip over?
Why can't they arrange for flat screen TV so I can watch keeping up with the trashians whilst running?mm
HobboTube whoosh
To discourage members to use it.. training weights saves alot of money off the electric bill :)
Absolute legend mo…just getting my treadmill sorted out now in time for the winter so no impact on my training…have to confess that after a year of training on roads and trails I am slightly hesitant to get back on the treadmill as feels like a step backward but I think benefits in winter outweigh disadvantages 👍
Just make sure you put at least a 1% incline on and you should be fine mate
Hey Mo!! Can you do a daily nutrition video??? Thanks!!!
A Video about your recovery routines would be nice
The regular diet you're on when training. Foods for energy and recovery. Pre race meals, pre long run/track workout meals. Different meals you eat throughout the day to stay in tip top shape.
20 miles on a treadmill sounds like hell
yea, to be fair though it would only take him like 2 hours
It really isnt
If you are watching tv it goes by a lot quicker
your're right, it would take him about 1 hour and 45 minutes
With enough music and caffeine instead you'll speak to yourself saying, "Time for the Hampster wheel!"
Mo's coach Alberto Salazar is a big believer in treadmills and has written a book about treadmill running. Salazar used to run about 1/2 of his weekly mileage on treadmills in prep for his Comrades win.
"Just start off slowly like that" (Treadmill showing speed of 16km/h)
Right. That's a great 5k race pace for most people.
Daniel Apfelbaum no it didn't. It said 9.0 kmph
@@Ligerpride 9 mph, not 9 km/h.
@@wriches No it isn't! It's 9 km. It's clearly a metric machine. He's asked for his kg weight.

he then goes up to 12.1 then faster but doesn't show it..

Thanks for the video Mo. It's good to see that even the best use a treadmill. I always feel guilty when I use a treadmill, like it's not a proper workout. Now I feel less guilty :)
martin mclean hey if you have no where to run or if you're like me and can't run in the winter a treadmill is great
I would love more tips on running form! I am learning SO much from you and want to be the most efficient runner I can be!
What a legend!
Also 0.5 incline to stop the bounce! Thank you!!
Nice training tips mo Can I request for some breathing tips as well as diet plans.. I'm sure it will help a lot And I always look up to u first as my idolYou're the best of the best.! Keep up mo We are loving it n we all love u😘👌From your supporters here in Malaysia
He jogs at a 9, I’m almost fully sprinting🤦🏽♂️
I run 13kmph at a average jog and my all out sprint is 31kmph
He is god...
That form bruh
Here I thought it was mph and thought "damn!"
I also noticed that as well At 12.5. Yikes...

Just found this site, love it and Mo , a perfect ambassador for his sport, well done !!!
I always find that I have to watch my feet on the treadmill otherwise I feel like I may misplace my foot
you are doing such a great job!! I'm really enjoying these videos!
Looking forward to watching Mo Farah @ Hayward Field UofO later this spring!
Wow you are coolest people I know you always the best marathon 🏃 I am from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 but I will always cheer for you and for all great runners in the world. I also like your British accent wow you are the best. And god bless you dear Farrah 😀
You’re a legend!! Thanks for posting mate.
I was exhausted by looking at this video!!
Love it, Mo! Would love to see some spesific workouts for th 5k, 10k and diet videos too!!
You are the most humble person I like you Mo I am from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Thanks Mo. Just getting into running and I really appreciate the tips. Thanks again.
Thank you mate! We appreciate it! I start getting much better now
Thanks Mo for all of the tips and advice. Love it. Fire your editor though... or at least tell them not to put things like “MANY miles later” when you ran for 5 minutes.

savage but true
you do realize it’s not that he ran many miles, it’s to show what you do after you run many miles
I'd wondered why his t-shirt was bone dry
Thanks for another one Mo. Could you do one on 400m and 200m track intervals to train for 5k/10k events, please? How long are your warmups before you get going? How many do you?

thanks for the nice video. it will help me alot to do the treadmill workout again. great job
Cheers from Mexico Mo Farah´s and also big thanks for the knowledge you are sharing thanks brother
Mo seems like a super decent guy! Subbed. Would love a vlog into his daily life

Running 10mph for 30mins is impressive because not many people can do it. thats hard to believe.
"I NeEd Ur ViDEO pRooF, I cANt bELieVe"
His voice is very smooth and soothing like his running
When Mo said 'easy..easy...' then the treadmill shown 11.9 speed.......hiikkkss.....
still great anyway Mo!!
Tim K hheeheheee....yes, i thought so 😊😊
The man can run at 12mph for over 2 hours during a marathon and you're questioning his ability to do it on a treadmill?
It's in miles/hour. At 2:00 he changes his speed to 11.2 and the figure in the middle of the display becomes 5'21, which is the time taken per mile. Mo can easily do this, whereas 5'21 for a kilometer would be painfully slow for him.
he was not questioning him- he was more like admiring his freak abilities- mo is a beast - go mo go
@@EMDones0615 he was not questioning him- he was more like admiring mo's freak abilities- mo is a beat - go mo go
Hello from Malaysia! Many thanks for sharing your experience. I love all your videos.
Awesome Form from Mo... looks so effortless. Insperational
Just loved it Mo. I love to learn leg strength techniques. Can you please share
Mo is the man.
He made it so easy, Legend..!
He didn't look like he ran any faster even though he ran faster. Now that's awesome
Good to know I’ve been using the treadmill correctly
I make my treadmill runs more fun with Virtual Trail Running!! Try it!
Awesome video. I would love to see what your weekly training plan is.
Thanks for sharing stuff Mo! its an inspiration for me.
when 12kmh-1 is the max speed of ur treadmill and he's increasing the speed up from 11.2 kmh-1
Thank you a lot Mo! my goal is to gain the stamina for football and this video was helpful..
Can you do a tips video for middle distance? Thanks Mo
thank you mo! you are the best!

Hello the one and only Mo Farah
Mr. Farah: Could you please show/talk about your winter training outfit (outdoor training)?
Hi Mo!! Thanks for the information. Show us a video how a runner can increase length stride

Mo farah i need some tips,if i new long distance runner what the speed i have to maintain
Great video mo, thumbs up
Loved everything 🦁👊🏽👍🏾
I like the way you say 20miles or 18 miles as simple as that
U seem to be such a down to earth guy .. inspiring
really love these videos, i am in 10th grade and am hoping to run a sub 4:40 1600 in track, what kind of workouts should i do thanks
Travis Jensen speed!! Cross season saps your legs get in the weight room work on explosiveness!
Hey Mo, thanks for the great videos and advice! Could you talk about when and how to start transitioning to speed work from more strength based training at the end of the season? Thanks!
Advice from a Legend
Would like to see what you eat before and after a run. Also how much water do you drink before, during and after a run
Hi Mo, I’m a big fan and have just started trying to run competitively. I’m stuck at 20.18 5k time and can’t seem to improve what would be you biggest tip to improve on this?
nice one Mo! See you in London!
Thanks for your inspiration! There are now also curved treadmills - I like the idea, but are they suitable for long-distance training. Because you run in the curve to accelerate. Does this have a negative impact on the foot position and the muscles because of the different angle. Does anyone know?
Mo, what is your mindset in your daily life as you are working for a race and the day of the race? Also, what is a good schedule for running competitively, like how many miles a week should you do, and what other trainings help you improve?
Do you think you could do a video on championship type racing and strategies?
Would love a video on how you breathe during your runs!
thank u! love these videos
Would be interesting to see a “cool-down” routine video after the run.
Hi Mo
A lot of coaches discourage runners (especially sprinters)from using treadmills because they say it teaches the athletes to pull rather than push; what’s your take on that?
Interesting, I’ve never heard that… I use a combo of running outdoors and on treadmills and it’s been great for me for many years!
Moooo farahhh 🐐
Hi mo, thanks for the video ☺. Could you please suggest workout routines for 10k race!!!
He should endorse treadmills, someone please give this man an endorsement deal. Lol. I actually watched the whole video.
Hey Mo, can you do us a video on calf training please? What exercises do you do for them? Also keen to know what, if anything you do to keep your feet strong. Thanks!
1:30 how in the world is that 9.3 on the treadmill? he looks like he's doing an easy jog.
I know you know the answer to this already, but he's part of the elite pro athlete in long-distance running.
Can you do a video on what treadmill sessions you think are best ??
Mo, do you do interval training on the treadmill? That would be good to know. Thanks. James
