In order to find an answer to the topical question of improving the process of preparing those involved in fulfilling the standards in middle-distance running, the author set the goal of the study, which was to evaluate the capabilities of the Treadmill simulator as an effective means of developing speed endurance. To do this, the author solved the following tasks of the study: to create conditions for the physical preparation of students (23 young men of 18 years old) to run 3000 meters in the gym using the Treadmill simulator; to compare the indicators of development of speed endurance according to the results in the 3000 m run between students who trained on the "Treadmill" and students who trained in the same volume on the track of the athletics arena. As a result, according to the results of the experiment, which took place during the academic year, it turned out that the students of the group who were engaged in the track and field arena had 44 s better indicators of speed endurance in comparison with the students who prepared with the help of the "Treadmill". Conclusion, a full-fledged effective preparation for middle-distance running, and, consequently, the development of speed endurance can only take place on the track of an athletics arena. This fact is important not only for the theory and methodology of physical education, but also has great practical significance, confirming the importance of equipping educational institutions of all types with appropriate sports facilities
