Came here for a experience on the assault, and got a load of good running tips as well! Thank you for a good video!

I am learning to strike with the ball of my foot vs the heel strike. I have always been a heal striker but you tube is educating me to help minimize my injuries as well as up my fitness drive.

Thank you for this. Found this video over the weekend. I had decided that on Monday I’d be running on the runner at the gym. I had just told another runner at the gym that I couldn’t. I can’t run on the runner. That ate at me all weekend. Not going to live with telling myself I can’t do stuff. I dislike the regular treadmill, hurts my feet and legs. I’m Florida and before long very hot days are comes and summer storms. I need to get use to running indoors for times it’s not safe to be outside. I ran on it Monday, decide my Thursday (today) run would be on it. Need to get comfortable. Your video helped. Even did the high knees and butt kicks, which I’ve never done. I’m 48 and started running just under 7 months ago. Never athletic, never physical active besides family walks. I beat my 5k time today and on the runner!!!!! New goal it to get under 30 minutes. You helped do much. Thank you for this video!!

Milo is the cutest 💙enjoy your little boy as much as your workouts cause once they are gone you can’t get them back I miss my boy 🐕thanks for all the workout and tips much appreciated

Loved this one! Could you answer this comment with the written running workout?

I saw that you guys have a trueform runner as well. Do you train mostly on the assault because that is what crossfit uses or do you think it is a better treadmill. Thinking of adding a treadmill to my training, but I'm torn on which one to get. It looks like the monitor is more useful on the assault.

That Assault Runner is WAY Harder than Running Outside. I don't like running on a regular treadmill anymore. It took my about two weeks to get used to running on it

Hey there! I am considering buying this treadmill but I saw one (different brand) that has a few magnetic resistance levels. Do you find that the assult is missing that or is the belt resistance comfortable on the assault as is?

I love outdoor running but running on the assault runner has made me 2 min faster per mile. Due to injuries, my runs had to drop. Regular tread sucks! Lol....love the content! Keep up the hard work

Love the vids! Quick question for you or anyone that can help! For the assault runner pro - is it good for endurance training. As in, could you run 8 to 15 km (5 to 10 ish miles) on it?

@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell

4 ай бұрын

I have run up to 10miles on it before, outside of being bored because I dont love using a treadmill it is great!

Thank you - this one was great! Is the progression speed or more intervals?

A treadmill is powered by a motor/pulley system. Am I understanding this correctly by what you are saying, "you have to concentrate pulling the treads" the assault runner is powered by the runner? So, the runner is in control of the speed? How cool is that, less chance of injury! Pulling the treads, I guess it would engage more muscles than running outside? It seems assault runner/running outside has it advantages/disadvantages. Great video. Keep them coming. Have you thought about acting/modeling for Milo, he's a natural! 😊

You are correct, The assault runner does not have a motor, the runner pulls the tread. It is quite challenging and quite cool! I love it because it also forces me to maintain a speed rather than rely on the motor. And Milo is hilarious.

I love to run and CrossFit. I am struggling with my breathing during both. I don’t know how you and most people can control your breathing. I always sound like I am dying. I have been running for over ten years so I am not new to it. CrossFit for just one year. Please tell me there are tricks to help me control my breathing during any type of run and a WOD. Thank you. I love all your videos. I have learned a lot.

Try to focus on relaxing and forcing yourself to start by breathing through your nose instead of your mouth. This will help keep our heart rate from redlining from the start and allow It to slowly climb

I noticed you have a Tru Form Runner in your gym. What is your thoughts on the two different runners? Love your videos, keep them coming.

Do you wear a different type of shoe for running outside vs inside? I prefer running in barefoot shoes but when I run outside I have to run on pavement a lot and I find it stresses my knees too much 🤔

@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell

I typically wear the same shoe!!

is this quieter or noisier than a motorized treadmill

Could you use something like a resistance band, so that you get some kind of feedback to your position? You then don't need to be as aware of your position relative to the uprights, because the resistance band will give you a physical cue to your position, making it easier to subconsciously control it? I have no idea if this would work. Just came up with it now 😁

Does your, or any other runner you’ve been on have a clicky/unnormal sound once reaching a speed higher than a jog?

@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell

3 жыл бұрын

Mine does not but I have heard some do it before, the rollers might need maintenance

Have you already built a base of mileage or are you hitting these intensity sessions off of just crossfit metcons etc? Advising people just to do intense intervals will surely be counterproductive and potentially increase injuries and massive fatigue?

“I do hineys and butt kicks.” Me: Sounds like the same thing. Oh, high knees. Ooops.

The assault runner is powered by the runner; that means you're basically running uphill the entire way.

Used the AR for the first time yesterday I usually do a handy 3KM run around 15mins consistently give or take … On the AR I tried this yesterday and I was so much slower almost 7mins per KM .. that could be due to me not being comfortable with the machine yet ..

it may contribute, these machines def run slower that road running for about everyone. having to actually pull the belt takes quite a bit more effort!

Assault made in china, the best trueform runner made in USA !

the 30 fps was making me sick good video tho i liked it but when you were bouncing around my eyes were hurting
