Okay for jogging? Is this treadmill strong enough to handle jogging 3 miles 3-4 times per week?

I don't know how heavy you are, but it seems to me that it's fine for jogging 3 miles 3-4 times a week. I am petite, about 5'4" and 115Lbs, so this machine would be fine for me to jog that much; and it looks and feels as durable as the machines at 24 Hour fitness. I'm guessing that jogging that much for someone who's considerably heavier than me would be a bit questionable, but I am not an expert to assess that. Nevertheless, it feels like it will take it just fine.

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.

Hi,Yes love this as a jogger. I spent a month researching since these things are so expensive and have been very pleased with this model. You lock the front tire for jogging and it handles great. Absorbs bumps well too. I have a 26 lbs French bulldog and you end up with a great arm workout as an added bonus.

The max speed is 4 miles per hour, which could get you to a decent jog. But its not really designed for running. It doesn't have hand rails to hang onto, or padding to cushion the stride.

Yes, b/c that's what I want to use it for, for a treadmill sit/stand desk set-up, walking between 0.5 and 2.0 mph, just to keep the circulation going and give me energy for my real workouts. The TreadDesk company says you need a stronger continous hp motor b/c the low but constant use is more taxing on the mechanism. That is also why I'm looking at the Merit 725T Plus treadmill. Check out the specs. Much higher. Newer model.

yes, I can. it's highest speed of 6.2 and i weigh about 100 lbs but I run on it fine while my husband jogs on it at about 126lbs at the 5 setting. hope that helps because before I bought it some people say they couldn't run on it.

It seems a bit heavier than a previous jogging stroller I had. I never verified accuracy of that but it doesn't have the safety cord so this alone screams "not a jogging stroller". But I did take it on a 5k once and wouldn't do that again just because it's just harder. The wheels are also more like a dirt bike wheels than a cycling wheel so you'll have more resistance there too.

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 :)

I would not recommend multi-tasking on this treadmill. It has a short track and is always on an incline.

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

No this stroller is not meant for jogging. It's ok on dirt. You'd probably want a double Bob if you want to jog and or hike

I am an adult male and I run on this treadmill. It is sturdy enough to jog, which was one of the reasons I bought this product.

Might be too short. I am 5' 4'' and just walked, and it was fine for me. I walked on this treadmill for 30 minutes a day for 3 years. The motor gave out this year. Since I paid about $600 for it, I felt that 3 years of good use was a decent value. Just don't expect it to last forever.

2.5, but even with that it's great. I typically run at 5.3 but my husband does intervals up to 10 and it's still great. We both use it 3 days a week.

We've only been using this treadmill for a couple of weeks- but so far it works great. It does not get up to speed as fast as gym equipment, but it gets to 6.0 MPH within 20 sec or so. The only other problem that we didn't tighten the bolts at the front of the treadmill enough initially and it squeaked, but after we tightened them it went away- Great purchase at this point!

I purchased this jogger for my daughter. She has a 3yr. old and 7 mo. old, daughters. She and her husband are long distance runners. I really don't know about your question, but the jogger is fairly easy to maneuver and quite sturdy. So, I could imagine it would work well for these activities you have mentioned. I do not have any other suggestions as my daughter did the research and chose this particular jogger.
