I've read that this is only good for walking/jogging. What is the highest recommended speed? Would it be able to handle 6 or 7 mph every day?

Oops. Sorry. I thought you were asking about a different model. This is a good treadmill. I walk on it at 4 mph and there is no rattle or anything so I don't see you having a problem running on it.

You can do a slow jog. I would never run with this stroller. Its got smaller wheels and no brakes. Its an amazing stroller but a brisk walk is how I would use it.

I go walking almost every day with it and the plastic wheels are wearing down. I wish I had the wheels that are rubber that you can pump up. I wouldn't recommend for jogging.

i likewise had the same question. the stated up to 8 mph was the piece of information that grabbed me given i typically run at 6.5 to 7.5 mph on the gym treadmills. anyway, to answer your question: the max speed of this is 6 mph...NOT 8 mph as stated on the amazon webpage!!!!! buzzkill. however, the 6mph seems relatively considerably faster than my gym treadmill's 6mph. as for running, it can handle it. i'm 6 feet tall and weight in around 165 # for reference. hope this helped

This treadmill operates up to 4 mph while some other 'normal' treadmills I looked at (http://www.amazon.com/ProForm-PFTL60910-Proform-505-Treadmill/dp/B0048HS02G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1383233938&sr;=8-3&keywo;rds=treadmill) go up to 10mph. 4mph is a bit too fast for me to walk on safely, but I'm not sure how that translates to your body size or fitness level. Just in case it may help, I have read about people elevating the front of this treadmill for a mild incline to increase resistance.

It is good for me and I use it only when outside weather doesn't allow me to walk my 3-mile circuit. I find you can exert yourself more or less as you choose; there are times when I wish this did have more resistance. It sounds as though you are a seasoned fast walker or runner. If so, the Supreme with more resistance would probably be better for you. I didn't know there was one or I may have gotten that instead.

Should be OK for jogging as it is very light weight and small. Has a "hold" feature to keep in on stations. Just remember, weak signal stations may fade in and out.

I would say yes, it can be used as a jog stroller. Just lock the front wheel or it will wiggle a lot and force the stroller to make sudden stops. I always lock front wheel when walking fast/jogging or on walking on rough terrain.

It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger. The three wheel design works for other joggers bc they are bigger, in this one I think the compact nature wouldn't be an asset for stability. I also have the City Elite and that one I'd use as a jogger, I currently use that to power walk with my dogs. It's much sturdier. All that said, if you still opt for this stroller, get the GT model with real wheels. We use this for travel and as a car stroller, and in just that I am not happy with the plasticy wheels. If you ran w it you'd definitely need real wheels! Hope that helps :)

Are there any cons to this double jogger? I'm looking to use it with my 7 month old & 3 & 1/2 year old. I'd like to use it as my everyday stroller as well as jogger

I used it on cars and buses just for a test, and use it regularly for softball pitchers. I tested it on cars in urban environment, so the speed was low -- 30 to 50 mph -- and standing on the side of the road. Product description gives ranges which I could not test. For softball it works fine.

Unfortunately if you go on the Baby Jogger website they specifically say it's not a "jogging" stroller but I walk around everywhere with it and it rides really well. For jogging my hubby purchased a used BOB Utility Sport. If you're specifically looking for a travel stroller, perhaps you'd like the City Mini since it's a few pounds lighter and I believe it's a bit cheaper...good luck!

It's hard to answer that in our measurements , it's an appropriate speed , not too fast and not too slow. Your not held up by it for more than 5 seconds. Best answer would be , the speed would be about the same as a normal person walks

Yes I definitely would. I use this stroller everyday. This difference I have noticed from my friends strollers is the ease of it. Its really easy to move around with. Eben if you dont plan on jogging this is definitely a great stroller.

While plenty sturdy for walking at that weight, it would be pretty hard to control at speed. The plastic hardware robs this unit of lateral rigidity. And, compared to a B.O.B., it's pretty squirrelly at a 7:30 pace even with a 30lb child. Make sure the tires are pumped up and you spend some time really dialing in the alignment.

I wouldn't use it for jogging....it's not stable enough. My son would not sit on it while walking because it was "wobbly"...I'm afraid it may not stand up to jogging. Those wheels are small and low which doesn't work well with "speed"
