Can I stride backwards on this machine? If so do the readouts work?

Hello Linwood. I believe so because on days I do legs for my workouts I will do this machine backwards to warm up the front of my legs before doing squats. I cant remember if the display still works as normal but I believe it does. Hope this helps. I have had all of the Nordic track crap and even the ones I bought for 800 dollars ended up making a good boat anchor. I am a stickler for quality when it comes to gym equipment and I have to say it is one of the best ones I have used. I have had it over 6 months now and now problems at all..

Actually I have never done an intentional workout with a backwards stride, but I have tried peddling backwards briefly and it seemed ok

Yes, you can! There is even a reverse train workout that cues you to pedal forwards and backwards at different intervals.

I only tried it once many years ago and it was boring. You can hardly notice it change. But try it and see. Any form of movement will effect it, but it was built for machine movement I believe. Not reading the prior posts I answered the request. My model is quite old and if it has a pedestrian mode, I don't know it. Will check further, but being unable to walk any great distance, do not need the feature. Will try and find the booklet and update it in my mind.

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

Press the middle button to go forward. U hv to program it for go backward. See online instruction on customizing.

no, you have to flip it over after scanning the first side. It's very quick to do both sides.

It won't work in spin classes, it's calibrated to your stride length and it basically counts the number of strides and then does the math.

Yes. Very simple manual operation on this one. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but is well built. Note that the walking/running deck is very solid. A lot of treadmills in this price range have softer decks. This one is built sturdy and can take a hammering while running. If you like the softer/spongier feel of some treadmills for walking, you might consider another brand. Good luck!

Just a thought... Did you connect your balance lead correctly? If connected backwards the unit will appear defective.

Does it advance slides and go backward in Adobe Reader in Full Screen Mode?

I don't know if the model has been changed in that regard (I doubt it) but my wheels are grounded when I lift the deck. The treadmill moves very easily backwards or forwards and requires some twisting if if you need to *turn* as the wheels are straight.

i think you may have it on the pad backwards. I did first off. now it works fine...

Thanks man, for the comment. Can't figure this device out. Seems to work backwards, but works !

Yes, the running track can be moved upwards - probably to an approx. 60 deg angle allowing a bit more space but we prefer to keep it down and ready to use. Great machine though. I don't have a pic but I bet you can find one on Sole's website.

Probably not. I just tried alternating meter on hip and in pocket while walking slowly. It didn't register the steps.

Yes, although you may have to "reclassify" what the activity actually is. Sometimes you need to reclassify -sometimes it reads my elliptical or stationary bike as a "walking event" instead of elliptical or cycling, but that may have something to do with the action of my foot.

Yes you can take the reading while you're walking.My best advice to you is if you haven't already,DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.I WAS ON MY 3RD ONE & IT DIED AGAIN.TIRED OF SENDING IT BACK SO I JUST WROTE IT OFF AS A LOSE. PIECE OF JUNK.EXSPECTED BETER FROM TIMEX.
