Title: Treadmills
Post by: Matthew Dougherty on April 20, 2010, 01:17:28 pm
Hey everyone.  I am a new poster to this board and just recently started ramping up my training to make a run at a BQ.  Although I far prefer road or trail running, I think that it is time for me to at least shop for a treadmill to help me meet my mileage goals.  Does anyone have any recommendations for or against any product that they have tried?
Thanks for any help.

Many treadmills will work fine if you just need to run.  Price increases with stability and features which make the run more quite (of course it will still be louder than an elliptical) so you have to consider what you really want in a treadmill.  A decent treadmill should last quite a while, especially if you find someone qualified to service it.  The problem with my Pacemaster is that it still works, so I can't justify getting an even higher end model.  :)
