Stop guessing what to do on the treadmill. Treadmill Coach gives you a clear training plan, one obvious next workout and audio guidance throughout every session. You will hear exactly when to change your speed or incline, so you can focus on running instead of watching the screen. TRAIN AT YOUR PACE Tell Treadmill Coach your comfortable walking, jogging and running speeds. Every workout uses those personal baselines while respecting the maximum speed you set for your treadmill. FOLLOW A REAL PLAN Choose a goal and see the full journey before you begin: - Treadmill Starter - Return to Running - Power Walking - Build Fitness - First 5K - Faster 5K - Incline Strength - 10K Builder Each plan contains three structured sessions per week, with gradual progression designed to build confidence and consistency. AUDIO COACHING WHILE YOU MOVE Choose a British or American coaching voice. Clear spoken cues prepare you for upcoming changes and tell you the precise speed, incline and time target when it matters. QUICK RUNS FOR ANY DAY Choose from 12 standalone guided workouts, including easy runs, walk-jog sessions, intervals, hills and endurance runs. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Track completed workouts, total training time, estimated distance and progress through your current plan. After each workout, tell us whether it felt too easy, right, too hard or uncomfortable. Any suggested pace adjustment remains your choice.
