BOSTON MARATHON TREADMILL FEATURES

• Off—Provides a fully firm platform to use for interval
training (to increase VO2 max) and repetition training (to increase running efficiency). The firm surface
assures that in this type of training, your muscles
are recruited correctly to achieve the desired
adaptation.

The BOSTON MARATHON® treadmill is a performance
training tool for runners. Following are some of the features that make it the best training treadmill available:
Running Metronome—The console features a running metronome that enables you to easily pace
yourself and maintain a fluid motion while running.
Simply select the desired pace, and match your strides
to the beat. You can improve your running efficiency
by focusing on the following four fundamentals of good
running form:
1. No heel strike
2. Your foot landing under your bent knee
3. A slightly forward-leaning posture
4. A running cadence of 180 or greater

Ergonomics—The BOSTON MARATHON treadmill
ergonomics are specifically designed for serious runners. The handlebars are within easy reach if needed
but are out of the way to allow for natural strides. The
walking belt length is 5 ft. 2 in. (157 cm) to encourage
full, natural strides for effective training.
15.0 MPH—For the first time, advances in treadmill
drive systems allow you to run at a 4-minute-mile (15
MPH) pace using a standard 120-volt AC, 15-amp
plug. This pace is a critical training tool for runners
to increase their VO2 max and running efficiency for
improved race performance.

Real Road Setting—Running on a treadmill requires a
slightly smaller energy expenditure than running on the
road. This is due to the lack of wind resistance and the
energy return from the spring in the walking platform.
The BOSTON MARATHON treadmill can be configured
to adjust for these factors so that running on the treadmill requires the same energy expenditure as running
on the road.

Incline Range of -6% to 20%—The extreme range
of incline is designed to provide real terrain training.
This allows you to train all muscle groups to properly
prepare for the race course. The decline also allows
for “over speed” training to improve your leg turn-over
while working within your target intensity range.

Runner’s Flex Cushion—The runner’s flex cushion
system can be turned on or off to provide different
types of training.

Core Cooling Fans—Two high-volume fans are positioned to blow correctly on your core to keep your body
temperature down. Core body cooling is especially
critical during long runs designed to create aerobic
capacity and muscle adaptation. If your body temperature rises, more blood must be diverted to your skin to
transfer off excess heat. This increases your stress and
decreases how long you can run.

• On—Provides extremely effective impact reduction.
This is very effective for long runs that are designed
to increase aerobic capacity and muscle adaptations. The impact absorption dramatically increases
the comfort of the run so that you can run much
longer and achieve the desired adaptation. This also
reduces recovery time so that you can come back
and train the next day.

The heart rate monitor must be worn
under your clothes,
tight against your
skin. Wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest in the
location shown.
Make sure that
the logo is rightside-up. Then, attach the other end of the chest strap
to the sensor. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if
necessary.
Pull the sensor away from your body a few inches and
locate the two electrode areas, which are covered by
shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or
contact lens solution, wet the electrode areas. Then,
return the sensor to a position against your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the sensor with a soft towel after
each use. Moisture may keep the sensor activated,
shortening the life of the battery.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do
not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or
other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to
temperatures above 122° F (50° C) or below 14° F
(-10° C).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor when
using or storing the heart rate monitor.

• To clean the sensor, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the sensor with a
damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a soft towel.
Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the sensor. Hand wash and air dry the chest strap.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try
the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate monitor as described at the left. If the heart rate monitor
does not function when positioned as described,
move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• If heart rate readings are not displayed until you
begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
For the console to display heart rate readings, you
must be within arm’s length of the console.
• If there is a battery cover on the back of the sensor,
replace the battery with a new battery of the same
type.
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference from high power
lines or other sources. If you suspect that magnetic
interference is causing a problem, try relocating the
fitness equipment.

nominal 120-volt circuit capable of carrying 15 or
more amps. To avoid overloading the circuit, do
not plug other electrical devices, except for lowpower devices such as cell phone chargers, into
the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the same
circuit. IMPORTANT: The treadmill may not be compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.

Use a Surge Suppressor
Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be
damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s
power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other
appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the
risk of damaging the treadmill, always use a surge
suppressor with the treadmill. To purchase a surge
suppressor, see precaution 13 on page 3.

Grounded Outlet
Grounding Pin

Use only a surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a
transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge
suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating
of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of
450 joules. The surge suppressor must also be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must
be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor could result
in damage to the control system of the treadmill
and serious injury to users.

The treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The treadmill power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page).

DANGER:

Improper connection
of the power cord increases the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will
not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure
whether the treadmill is properly grounded,
contact a qualified electrician.

speed ring onto your right
or left index finger as shown. Note: Two straps of different lengths are included. Use the strap that fits the
best.

FCC Information—The speed ring complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
The speed ring has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. The speed
ring generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

To connect the speed ring to the console, press the

by pressing down on
it and sliding it in the
direction shown by the
arrow.

IMPORTANT: The speed ring emits radio frequency energy, but the radiated output power is far
below the FCC and IC radio frequency exposure
limits. The speed ring complies with FCC and IC
RF radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled
environment.

2. Insert a very small
screwdriver or a pin
between the indicated
metal clip and the old
battery. Gently pry the

apply silicone spray or other substances to
the walking belt or the walking platform unless
instructed to do so by an authorized service
representative. Such substances may deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
If you suspect that the walking belt needs more
lubricant, see the back cover of this manual.

b. Make sure that the settings for your wireless network are correct.
SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on
a.
Use only a surge suppressor that meets all of the
specifications described on page 13.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill performance may decrease and the walking belt may
become damaged. First, adjust the incline to 20
percent. Then, remove the key and UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler
roller screws counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When

adjust the incline to 20 percent. Remove the key
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex
key, turn both idler roller screws clockwise, 1/4 of a
turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened,
you should be able to lift each edge of the walking
belt 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 cm) off the walking platform.

the incline to 20 percent. Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt
has shifted to the left, use the hex key to turn the
left idler roller screw clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the
walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left
idler roller screw counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.

WARNING:

Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise; never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week,
if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your
hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward
your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward
you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and
groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on
the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward
the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To
cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as
well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one
foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as
possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull
your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
