Treadmills

<< < (2/2)

I use a treadmill for about 150 of my training miles for half marathon training.  I do the other 50 or so outside.  I do like the outside training better but especially in the summer its not uncommon to be 115 degrees when I get home from work and training at 4am on a work day is out of the question for me.  (I live in the arizona desert) The alternative has been to get a good treamill.  I had one given to me for my first half marathon and I wore it out.  I learned a lot when I had that on what I want and dont want.  My basic needs were to be a long enough belt to run on and not too narrow.   I also like the incline feature and the quick start by pushing any speed I want to begin at.   I bought a Norditrack at Sears for about $900.  Im pretty happy with it.  It does fold up but thats useless!!  To fold up you would need to run towards the wall all the time and after one session I said no way was I going to face a wall just to fold up the tread mill afterwards and the legs still stuck out anyway.

A good way to buy a treadmill is to go try them at the store.  I ran on at least 10 or so before I found what I wanted.

Thank You all for your input.  I looking more toward a Manual Treadmill I have seen which had some good reviews.  I can see myself using the treadmill more than going out with a big jogging stroller.   So I am leaning toward a treadmill as you can see. 

Yes Happy the tree pollen is brutal, it has no mercy on me.  I have been waking up sneezing, itchy eyes and throat, nose running, the whole package for the past couple of days.  :cry:

Oh and the precor's I LOVE THEM!! I was a member of a gym a few years ago and I spent most of my time on that.   LOVED IT!  But I have no room for the precor tho.  :'(
