Runervals 1.0 - Easy Intervals
Troy JacobsonYear Released: 2002

This is a pretty decent video as far as treadmill running goes. It tends to keep one from getting as board as running in-place can do.
The intervals aren't too difficult for a beginner and as you increase your Base Pace (BP), you can make it pretty challenging. However, I would say that on a treadmill, you should consider 2% treadmill incline the same as 0% on the street, but that's just my opinion.
I must say, however, that the music is NOT the best for running to. It is a bit annoying (read: cheap elevator music), but at least they up the tempo when you are going faster or at a higher incline (during the work intervals).
The interval sets have been mentioned in previous reviews, so I won't restate them here.
All in all, it's worth the cost of the DVD if you have to run inside or if you want a replacement for a track workout (but I'd still like to have some better tunes ;-) ).
Instructor Comments:
Pretty good queuing from Coach Troy. Difficult to hear some of his other comments at times.
