Do recommend this for a runner to train?

I am not a distance runner whatsoever so I wouldn't know if this would be a good training tool for that. I played basketball and lacrosse in college and used the ladder quite a bit for agility and conditioning. I bought the ladder to use as a form of conditioning in conjunction with interval cardio training and weight lifting.. This person below seems to know what they're talking about too.

Neuro muscular training or reactive training done on an agility ladder has many advantages for runners particularly trail runners. In any event these ladders when used in conjunction with an off season weight resistance program designed around intervals works great. Strive to know the foot patterns and as you do, do them as quickly as possible. Repeating the patterns. I typically have my clients do 2-3 weight movements follows with 2-4 times through the ladder then back into another 2-3 movements then a stretching interval of say 1-2 min as part of recovery. Then back into another 2-3 movements followed by a stint on the ladder. Be creative. There are numerous patterns. Hopping getting both feet off the floor adds another dimension to your fitness and coordination, tendon and ligament strength.

If you just need to track your speed, distance and calorie, you may not need any more equipment. However, if you want to track them accurate and have a post mortem of your run like elevation, speed-to-the-min, plot them to online charts and see statistics then I would suggest you to go for something better.

I would be very surprised if you could jog with this thing attached. Better to get a board that is easy stored in the up position. Or one that's easy to detach. It's rather weighty. Frankly, it's a pain, but I think that's just the nature of these things.

there are special things from baby jogger just for infants. Its like a bassenet. That would probably be your best option.

Absolutely! Just adjust to get a good fit, and you'll be ready to go. The cord is a bit rigid, which could be a little annoying for gym use, but running would work!

I've been using it for a few weeks now, its got a great display, and finds the satellite really fast. If you're a beginner and all you're looking for is a watch that gives you pace, time and duration, its not a bad watch. If you're an advanced runner and need all the stats, then maybe hold off until tomtom irons out all the bugs in the software.

It will take up a noticeable amount of room in your running shoes but unless you're shoes are specifically geared towards stability or trail running then you should be fine running on stable surfaces. Sidenote: this thing fits very small. I'd recommend buying 1 up from your regular size.

No, I really wouldn't recommend this unit. Though it is small there are probably some better units out there to purchase. Have you tried a wireless device for jogging? Hope this helps

Yes. After you get familiar with it. Getting water, chapstic, sun screen (this is all i carry)while running is very easy.

I run on the elliptical and arc trainer at planet fitness. They are secure, the rubber-like tips stay put even in sweaty conditions. I run pretty fast too. They are also extremely easy to clean.

Hi Meridian,I Started using it as my day to day watch and in after a few weeks I got back to my good old Timex ironman . It is great for running

I use it for weight training, the elliptical (when I have to use it), running and Insanity/Asylum/T25 videos. I am a long distance runner by nature and habit. I have had no issues switching among activities with accurate heart rate, time, calories etc.

If you're a beginner, yes it can be helpful. It is a useful tool for exercising.

I don't know how heavy you are, but it seems to me that it's fine for jogging 3 miles 3-4 times a week. I am petite, about 5'4" and 115Lbs, so this machine would be fine for me to jog that much; and it looks and feels as durable as the machines at 24 Hour fitness. I'm guessing that jogging that much for someone who's considerably heavier than me would be a bit questionable, but I am not an expert to assess that. Nevertheless, it feels like it will take it just fine.

I only use it for walking, and it works fine for that. Not sure about running. Sorry.

I am 6'1" and 207 and I would not run on it. It is fine for walking, walking fast, and ramping up.your heart rate by raising the incline. I don't think it is solid enough for guys our size to run on. I may be wrong but it feels a bit puny to me. The belt is very lightweight and does not seem to be very rugged. The motor appears a bit under - powered as well. Size wise it is big enough, but just doesn't feel solid enough.

I will say yes. I recommend getting it to fit like a under Armour shirt. Which they are designed to fit that way. I think it would work fine. As long as you have a shirt over it. This will help hold it in place better when running.
