Have you ever run on the treadmill? My wife and I are considering pairing this desk with a treadmill for both running and walking.

I bought a separate running treadmill...I just move the trek desk out of the way....Mary

Yes. I have the desk sitting on plastic furniture movers and I move it away from the treadmill to use it in my workouts. I personally would not be comfortable running on the treadmill with the desk in place.

I have run on mine without any problem, but I spend much more time walking on it because it is now the only desk for my PC.

No but you could probably get away with using it running or on the treadmill. I've never seen anyone do that.

I am 5'1" and use the TrekDesk. I was meticulous in measuring the lowest height of the trekdesk (from scematics on their website) and then checking the height of the treadmill panels before I bought a treadmill. The bottom of my treadmill panel is just below the lip of the desk. Also, I put a rubber mat under the treadmill to raise it up a bit. They recommend that anyway in case of oil leak. Mine works fine. After a few tens of times of jumping on and off I have to adjust the belt.

The adjustable desk is a little on the short side. At it's full extension, it can work for me, but only if I'm barefoot. I am approximately 5-7. A treadmill would need a taller platform, and I'm not sure you'd want to prop this up on something else. It's not particularly sturdy.

I have not experienced this. However, my treadmill deck is high, so the desk is at its lowest setting. It is quite stable.

I spent about a year testing each of the different desks out there as purchasing a treadmill desk is a major purchase. You can see the results of my research here: http://www.blog.joelx.com/lifespan-fitness-treadmill-desk-review-comparison/6645/

Yes, b/c that's what I want to use it for, for a treadmill sit/stand desk set-up, walking between 0.5 and 2.0 mph, just to keep the circulation going and give me energy for my real workouts. The TreadDesk company says you need a stronger continous hp motor b/c the low but constant use is more taxing on the mechanism. That is also why I'm looking at the Merit 725T Plus treadmill. Check out the specs. Much higher. Newer model.

It is best used for walking but I did jog just to see what it can do. The machine was just fine. As far as a full blown run I have no idea. I am not the running kind of gal. ; )

Yes! There are lots of workouts designed for the treadmill. Works great! Love PEAR!!!

I haven't tried it but the reviews said many things about the treadmill which aren't completely true... ie, the usb port is not ipod compatible and you have to buy many programs

Not sure if the treadmill would be wide enough....I have it on a table and can just walk/exercise in place.

When you raise the desk, it moves toward you a few inches. I don't use it with a treadmill. I think you're asking if it will do that, and so the answer is a conditional yes. I'm out of town now so I can't be more definitive. If you can wait until Friday, I'll give you more detail.

i go running with mine. i sweat a lot. no problems with slippage. also, i've thrown in ear plugs and used these things while operating a jackhammer. pretty nice to have something interesting (Darn Carlin's Hardcore History) to listen to while working.

My treadmill is a "TreadDesk" brand specially designed for standing desks, it's total height is 4 inches from the floor. I set the TrekDesk in the shortest holes, marked F on the side slots to create the shortest desk possible. It measures 46.5 inches from the floor to the work surface. I'm 5'6.5" tall and this setting is just barely comfortable for me. I would prefer the desk be an inch or maybe two shorter. When I add the keyboard on top of the desk, the crook of my arm have to reach up a bit forming an angle a bit less than 90 degrees. This feels a bit "tight" to me, like I always have to hold my arms with bicep tension to reach the keys. I think this desk is designed to work with the more common treadmills that have much taller bases. I'd say mark 46.5 inches on the wall in front of your treadmill then, while standing on the treadmill imagine your keyboard is resting on top of that mark, does it feel comfortable? That's the only way I can think to pre-test the height. For my height treadmill I'd say 5'6.5" is the minimum height this desk fits but it has tons of room for extending it taller and most treadmills are taller than mine. Hope that helps. :)

Excellent Question. NO. We brought ours into the spare bedroom in pieces and then assembled it. Be sure to buy the pad if you do. This treadmill is HEAVY.

hey, I never use it on treadmill. But the headphone is pretty tight and I think it will work. The thing is the price is higher than before...
