If you have any doubts about running on a treadmill, I suggest consulting with a personal trainer or doctor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When Should You Do It?<\/strong> Morning is the best time for running on the treadmill. But you can do it whenever you feel good about it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How Often Should You Do It?<\/strong> You can run on the treadmill three times weekly: low intensity on Monday, moderate intensity on Wednesday, and high intensity on Friday\/Saturday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can You Run on an Empty Stomach?<\/strong> Yes, you can. I did it several times. However, it is more about how you personally feel. Having dates, chocolates, or energy bars 30 minutes before running can help you do better.
