Does anyone ever run on this? It says that it goes up to 4mph and I would be using it mostly as a desk, but what about a run occasionally?

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.

If you only go 4 mph, you can walk that pace. It does not go higher than 4. So I walk at 4 when I am not typing, etc.

It does indeed go up to 4 mph, but keep in mind that the tread surface is narrower and shorter (18" x 52") than a typical treadmill that you would find in a gym (22" x 60") and it does not have any shock absorbing features. I bought mine just for walking while working on my computer, typically walk at 2 mph.

I would say its only indoor and i would say you could run however. I just have mine running along wall behind furniture.

Thanks for the feedback, I finally did buy the Exerpeutic with the rolling lifetime table and you're right, it perfect. I have it setup in front of my 40" Sony and the laptop is monitored to the big screen, and it works great.. I think I may still need a gel cushion for the seat (due to being on it almost the full 8 hour day). and yes at simple cruising speed it appears (according to the computer) I'm knocking off over 2000 calories per day. Even if the computer isn't accurate, hell , I'm happy with half of that.

Mind if I ask how you're going to set up your treadmill desk? That's what I'm looking to do as well, though the SurfShelf desk option looks cheap, and I don't want to build myself, so curious if you found the "desk" portion and could tell me where.

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

That is relative my friend. It is a big machine and the wheels are quality. I 6'2" and 260 lbs. I can move it around but got tired of that and built a nice generator box right by my house. I created an outdoor plugin to run it to my transfer switch ($300 with self install). Works great. But is is big. Sux trying to move it in the snow. buy a few 2x4s, 4x4s, and plywood to remedy that problem (another $500 if you are handy). hope that helps. It is a great generator and runs my whole house (Small)

Well I've heard that is rated for 250 but I saw a post from someone (possibly at a different site) that a person over 290/300 was using it without difficulty. I'm about 220 and haven't had a problem with it.

It can very easily be used under a desk. Just make sure that you don't bang your knees on the desk before you get into fast pedaling. Also make sure that there is some tension on the pedals. If there is no tension it tends to wobble and for long periods of time it may break.

It has 30 speeds and I have only gotten to 10, but I believe it is only vertical, or side to side. At higher speeds it feels more oscillating though. So far I am very happy with it, it's pretty quiet and very strong, the platform is very wide, much bigger than the picture looks. By changing your weight, you get different parts of your body to vibrate. I think it's pretty cool and for the price, if it last a few years, it will be a great deal.

Well you have to upgrade your pinion and spur gear then add a 3cell lipo and you can archive 60+ mph But i had to put a fan on both my esc and motor to keep them cool because the electronics overheat fast. But research the gear ratios online. Mine goes 63mph as far as i have tested. So much fun. Get a chassis t-bonevprotector tho. At that speed if u spinout u can break your chassis.

My machine has been doing 6 miles a day at 4.5 mph for the past 6 months.....works perfectly.....I even have it on an outside porch that allows mist to get on the unit.....GREAT value!!

It does run constantly but is quiet for normal use. You can kick into high gear when you want with a press of a button on the keyboard. It will also ramp up the fan when gaming for a while.

Oops. Sorry. I thought you were asking about a different model. This is a good treadmill. I walk on it at 4 mph and there is no rattle or anything so I don't see you having a problem running on it.

It's relatively easy to move - it has wheels at the heavy end. You don't need a specialized desk - just bear in mind the desk needs to be 3-4 in inches higher up than when you are standing on the floor. I've had really good experiences with this treadmill overall and have one at home and the office.

I'm not sure because I don't use it for speed. I do know it works great for my basic purpose. Sorry I can't help you more.

I did not have a clock yet to run it by. But it really does between 15-25 miles per hour in my opinion. On a smooth surface it if extremely fast. On grass and dirst, it does the same. I have found no lack of power or speed. I have ran it over 15 times so far. Keeping it clean is my problem (LOL).

I don't run on mine, buy my adult son is 5.6 and he didn't have any problems, not sure if that helps. Might depend on if you have shorter torso and longer legs or visa versa. Very solid treadmill, though.
