How to set the fastest pace in the gym

Can you keep pace with the world’s quickest treadmill?

-

Billed as the fastest treadmill on the market, with a top speed of 18.6mph, the TechnoGym SkillRun makes your standard treadmill’s 12–15mph maximum seem slightly pedestrian. It is faster than Mo Farah’s average mile-run speed. Along with knee-buckling velocity, the SkillRun features incline and decline capabiliti­es, an extra-wide 22in belt (to stop edgeclippi­ng) and biofeedbac­k technology that assesses your stride and weight distributi­on as you run (for your life), allowing you to adjust your technique as you pursue that elusive top speed.

Oh, and it also has a parachute training feature that mimics running with a ’chute attached to your back… which is good. Available to try out at select gym locations of 1Rebel, Sweat It and Gymbox.
