Product Information

A heart-rate monitor will help you gauge your workout's intensity (although a wearable monitor will be more accurate and won't require you to hold the handrails). The best treadmills are a great addition to a home gym, whether you’re trying to burn fat, improve cardio fitness or just looking for a convenient way to stay active from home. That said, buying a treadmill is an investment in terms of both money and space. That’s why we’ve written the following buying guide and roundup to help you find the best piece of equipment for your home. It’s tough to judge this from a distance but generally you get what you pay for here. The warranty is important – you want at least a two-year warranty on a treadmill – and it’s worth looking into how hard it is to replace parts as well. The belt of the treadmill might require maintenance too, which won’t be hard but is important to do semi-frequently. This is a more advanced workout for experienced runners training for longer distances. Combining tempo efforts with faster reps is also a great way to mix up a session and make it go by faster. Key specs – Size: 173 x 84 x 157cm (LWH); Speed range: 0-20km/h; Incline Range: 0-12.5%; Motor: 3HP

You can fold and unfold the machine using the hydraulic arm and it is one of the smaller options on this list when folded. However, that is partly as a result of the fact the running belt is quite short at 143cm, so taller users in particular will find it hard to go beyond jogging pace. Tech: If you’re simply after a solid treadmill for some recovery runs, tech probably isn’t at the forefront of your mind. But, with recent releases offering the likes of live classes and even access to TV streaming services via touchscreens, it’s worth taking a look at what each machine has to offer before making your mind up. Membership and app options: It’s compatible with the Technogym Live app as well as third party apps like Zwift and Rouvy. Just connect your tablet to the treadmill via Bluetooth to load your app of choice.Like all home treadmills, you get a clip safety feature that automatically stops the belt if you fall off. You also get a built-in sensor to measure your heart rate and a remote, which can be used for under-desk or walking mode only. What Do Current Owners of THERUN Treadmills Say? For example, those who are taller will naturally take fewer steps per minute and have a lower cadence, said Claire Bartholic, an ASFA-certified running coach. The motor is key to the performance of any treadmill, and you want to see a horsepower (HP) of around 2.5 (continuous, rather than peak) if you’re using the machine for running, though walkers can get away with a lower HP. Also look out for preset workouts on the treadmill, which can help vary your training to keep it fresh, and a large console screen to see your stats. What should I look for in terms of build quality?

One of the main reasons running on a treadmill is easier is because the treadmill assists with leg turnover, making it easier to run. Speed work, for example, is best done on flat ground so you can run your fastest pace without fighting gravity. If you live in a hilly area, the treadmill might be the only place you can do that", Bartholic said. This treadmill weighs in at only 64 pounds, and the wheels underneath make it a breeze to move around. Despite being lightweight, it’s super sturdy, and it can reach speeds up to 6 mph, which makes it one of the faster walking models on our list. The ability to choose a specific speed and incline are two of the major perks of running on a treadmill—especially if you're doing speed work or running hills. There’s no set distance or time to run on the treadmill—you’ll just have to add it to your training plan accordingly. If you’re just starting out, begin with slow, low-mileage treadmill runs. Then, over time, you can gradually amp up your distance and time. Developing a Treadmill Training PlanAdditionally, your muscles require a lot of energy after high intensity exercise to recover and repair. To get you started, try this treadmill workout! It’s great for beginners, but can also easily be made more difficult by simply adjusting speed and incline within this framework. Runners returning to injury, for example, often find treadmill running offers a better alternative because running outdoors can place a lot of stress on your muscles and joints. As a safety note, all treadmills have an emergency stop feature. On most machines, it is going to be a magnet that attaches to the treadmill by a thin rope, and the treadmill will stop when you pull the magnet off.
