Bounce Back Stronger | Recovering with a Curved Treadmill - The Run Experience

This is a quick summary of Bounce Back Stronger | Recovering with a Curved Treadmill from The Run Experience. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

• Curved treadmills provide a more forgiving surface and reduce joint impact, making them ideal for post‑injury rehab.
• The curve encourages a natural forward lean and mid‑foot strike, helping retrain proper gait mechanics without over‑compensating.
• Gradual re‑introduction of running on the curve builds strength and mobility while keeping discomfort low.
• You can also use the curved treadmill for low‑impact warm‑ups and cool‑downs around resistance sessions.

Workout Example (run + walk intervals, 2–4 times per week):

1. Start with 2 min easy jog, followed by 1 min walk. Repeat 2‑4 times.
2. Progress to 3‑4 min jog with 1 min walking breaks as needed.
3. Eventually work up to 20‑30 min of continuous jogging, 2‑3 times a week.
4. Feel free to add short backward walks or easy strides to vary the stimulus.

Closing Note Give the curved treadmill a try for a smoother, lower‑impact comeback to running. Adjust the interval lengths to match your current fitness and import the workout into the Pacing app to customize the paces for your own goals. Happy running!
