Is this sturdy enough to run on? I run 30 - 40 miles per week on asphalt.

This treadmill is well built, and has held up for months now running everyday with no issues. Running on asphalt is different from running on a treadmill though. For some reason it seems to tire me more quickly than asphalt does which I'm assuming means a better workout.

I run on it sometimes but mostly brisk walking. So I am not sure if it will hold up to 40 miles of running a week.

I've been running on it for months now, about 25 miles a week. I didn't face any problem so far. I believe it's sturdy enough. However the feeling running on it, is different than on the asphalt tape. Considering your millage, you are probably interested in functions to program intervall training. Do not expect much on this.

I ride about 15 mi per day on a mix of asphalt, concrete, and gravel and have no complaints about traction. Very good I'd say

We used one of these for a heavy duty trailer, cant remember the tire size now but it was big. Worked fine but... its not the strongest material and I am waiting for it to give. My vehicles do spend a lot of time in serious off road conditions, that is why I worry. If this is for normal use, you will be fine.

Hello, I think this is really too heavy to run with. If you put it tight enough, it should stay, but once the velcro ages and wears down, it will not stay due to its weight.

Is strong enough to keep running even if it drops a few times, but I reckon if you kick it it Will smash, as any smartphone in the World. I had it for 3 months and it hasn't got a scratch.

I don't think it would be great on asphalt/gravel. It works great on flat cement, but I don't think the wheels will grip well on anything loose.

Well it depends on how smooth it is. If the stones don't stick up too much and the surface isn't too rough it would probably be fine. It does however run best on smooth asphalt or concrete.

Hey jeffrey. I think you should be ok. I have been using this priduct for two years now and never had a problem. I usually run three times a week and this product its been very reliable even running under the rain or severe weather of Chicago in winter. Hope this help.Regards,Greg

Not sure what is max, but I have been running about 42 lbs and I weigh about 205 lbs. No problems on mild dirt and gravel yet.

I work with it on and it can get knocked out pretty easily. I don't run very much any more. I went for a little jog this morning and I think I would be able to run with it. A hard run I don't know my knees won't let me do that anymore

I have used these on an asphalt track that goes around a small park for six months. The rubber tips will eventually need to be replaced. I'm hesitant to make this recommendation since I don't know your specific needs. But, I'm 300 pounds and would not hesitate to buy these again.

It should hold up to 250 if walking. I would not recommend anyone over 190-200 lbs using it for running. And the runway is fairly short, so yourstride needs to be considered as well.

Keep in mind that the limit assumes running, which pounds the unit. If you just plan on walking, I'm pretty sure it'll be fine even if you go up to 300lbs or so.

Yes. my wife and I run on this everyday. A very good price for a quality treadmill.

I 've not tried it when running. But I tried it while walking. It comes with different sizes of rubbers pieces so you should be able to find one that fit tightly. My answer is 90% sure it will not fall when running, if you find right size of rubber pieces.

It handles well while running. I haven't ran with a BOB but for the price, i wouldn't trade it.

I was 152 lbs when I started running on this treadmill. It's very sturdy but a little noisier than most. I listen to music while running so it doesn't bother me. Be advised, this is NOT a flat surface treadmill, it has a slight incline. I took 2 1" pieces of practical board and lifted the rear . Even after that it's still sturdy.
