A new treadmill from Athletic Republic, a fitness company based in Park City, Utah, lets you run faster and up steeper inclines than anything you've previously found in your local health club, reports foxnews.com

Boasting speeds up to 28 miles per hour and tilting to a Mt. Everest-like 40-degree incline, these new treadmills are designed for high-intensity intervals. We'll do the math for you: 28 mph equates to 2:09 pace—2 minutes and 9 seconds per mile. That kind of speed may just be overkill:

"Obviously no one can run as fast as the machine goes," John Feugill, a former NFL player and now trainer at Chelsea Piers Sports Center in New York City, told FoxNews.com.

According to one study, the fastest man on Earth, Usain Bolt, topped out at 44.5 kilometers per hour (that's 27.65 mph) when he set the 100-meter world record of 9.58 seconds on August 16, 2009. His average speed for that 100 meter dash was pedestrian by comparison—23.35 mph.

So, even Lightning Bolt would be shot off the back of the belt when it's spinning at its fastest.

More astonishing, perhaps, is the claim that the treadmill can go from zero to top speed in only three seconds. That sensation, we can only imagine, would be kind of like jumping out of a moving car.

Trainers at the Athletic Republic training centers help you build explosive speed by programming the treadmills to a setting you can handle and having you jump onto the already moving platform.
