What kind of pace can you run on this treadmill? My husband and I are runners so I am looking for one we can train on.

i am not a runner but i do know that you can run at a fairly good pace - however, i am not certain it is the model you would train on for distance. it is a very sturdy treadmill.
365502
10 mph, but I have not tried that high. If you are a serious runner I'd recommend a higher level treadmill.

Its has a setting on the controls for training but for everyday use in full gear not sure if it would be ideal. You can choose the pace you would like to run at manually from the controls but if your doing 'intensity training', this is one of the controls on the panel. The machine will make you work, for it changes the speed automatically after a certain period which makes it interesting and makes you stay alert when using the weight-loss or intensity training options.

I would buy a higher end treadmill if I was still running. This is a great little treadmill for our purposes. We walk about 30 minutes a day each and it is perfect for this. Serious running needs a sturdier treadmill.

I would consider this a beginners treadmill. If you are a runner, outside or a high end treadmill would be more appropriate for you.

If you use manual type of seting you can set your pace; according to how far you want to run in one hour. This treadmill can maxium up to 10 mph.if you want to train to run faster then this it is not fit for you.If you want irregular pace you can up or down speed during runnig or pick the program which you want.For count of steps that completly on how tall and how long your legs are.

I got this treadmill last year for brisk walking at first, but as my fitness level improved I started running/jogging 5k then 10k almost daily. A year later now one of the metal sides on the treadmill belt broke so I wouldn't recommend it for running/jogging.

The size is great for me! I only walk 2.5 mph usually. A "brisk" walk is fine, but a jog may be a little too much as it is not long enough to really stretch out.

Based on my ownership and use of this machine for a few months, I would say you can safely jog on it for a 20-minute session every day, provided you don't expect to run faster than a light jog (4 to 6 mph), and your weight is not excessive. Keep the belt lubricated and it should be fine. If you're looking for a serious workout (faster speeds and longer sessions), you should consider a more advanced model.

I have never tried to run or jog on this treadmill. I truly do not know, but remember it is not motorized.

Yes, I run on mine. Not long distance but I do run. The treadmill doors need to be positioned well under the deal to run since a running form is different from walking. I also walk at 3.0 for approx 30 hrs a week.

yes. for god's sakes hold on. We lost grandmother when she torqued up the treadmill to 6 miles an hour. off the back she went flying through the wall board, between the wall studs and splatted against the brick siding. I was on the treadmill at 4 miles an hour Thursday and it recorded all steps effortlessly. Sara used the elliptical with success also. I have to see about biking, I used the recumbent and it did not register.

This used to drive me nuts until I upped my walking speed to 2.3mph (which I believe is still below the maximum recommended NEAT threshold). Somewhere around that speed the treadmill gains enough momentum that the stops (still unavoidably every 30 minutes) are not jarring; you get in a few steps of deceleration that, for me, made all the difference. Now to spraypaint some yellow bands across the belt so I can easily perceive if it's running or not while working with earplugs.

What desk are you using? Would love to start using one with this treadmill?

I jog on my treadmill and don't move the desk back. I'm not doing a hard run, but jogging. Works for me.

I'm 55 and I use it. It takes getting used to. I started with the treadmill alone until I built up some stamina.

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

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

I run on the elliptical and arc trainer at planet fitness. They are secure, the rubber-like tips stay put even in sweaty conditions. I run pretty fast too. They are also extremely easy to clean.

Yep, I run on the treadmill 4 times a week, short sprints, lite job and speed walk. Once they are locked in your ear you're lost in the music.

We had the same problem; our stairs turn 45 degrees near the bottom. We moved the treadmill before assembling. The running platform was the most difficult. We placed the platform on a canvas drop cloth on edge with padding and had two people on the lower end and one at top to maintain control. It went down pretty easy. I am not sure how. It would work if there is a 90 degree turn.

Wish someone would answer you. I am interested as well. Maybe not that fast though. I weigh about 100lbs and am hoping due to my size (being a shrimp) that I can get away with a machine that isn't monster-sized. This one seems ideal. I run about 6-7mph...Please let me know if you've found anything out!Thanks,Julie
