I intend to set up a desk treadmill, do you think this could handle being used 5days/week for 3 hours/day at ~1.5mph plus 1 hour/day at ~4mph?

This treadmill is incredibly sturdy, quiet and very reliable. I wouldn't think twice about it.

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.

The hardware/frame itself is very sturdy and I would assume,depending on your size, could handle it. Though the motor seems to be be fairly powerful at this price range not sure of the 5 day a week at 4 mph durability. If you're 140 pounds I'd say yes, if you're at the 300 pound limit I'd say no....

No. This isn't the kind of treadmill you can move in and out of place. It's very heavy.

The desk is not attached. You just move it back a few feet and run...I do both. I walk on it at about 2.3 mph and then move the desk and run. I have a regular treadmill. It takes 10 seconds to move the desk back and out of the way....You can also use it as a standing desk without a treadmill but you would have to lower it a bit when it's not being used in conjunction with the treadmill.

The ProForm 590 T Treadmill accommodates up to 300 lbs. So you should be good

I would consider this a beginners treadmill. If you are a runner, outside or a high end treadmill would be more appropriate for you.

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

I would say it's excellent in that regard. The deck has a slight flexibility with your foot fall, and I find it very comfortable to run on for extended periods. Over the years we have had several treadmills, and we agree this LifeSpan TR 1200i is the best we have ever owned. I can't see any downside to this equipment. However, you should know that the on-off toggle switch is located at floor level on the front of the treadmill necessitating a stretch to turn it on and off. Not a problem for me...still, the switch could have been located on the 'dashboard' for ease of use. This is an excellent treadmill. 5 star recommendation here.

It will do just fine with 30 min (or much longer) workouts. It is built like a tank.

I would say Yes. I weigh the same as you and have run a 1.33 half (which is about 7.15). I train at times daily on mine and once ran 52 miles on it in 3 days. I've not seen any sign of it not being able to keep up.

You may be able to do it because it is only 25 minutes and it has a lower impact version you can do. I usually do this dvd, then run a half a mile to 1.5 miles on the treadmil. I usually workout 5 days a week for 30-40 minutes and have been working out for years. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend multi-tasking on this treadmill. It has a short track and is always on an incline.

Yes, you can! I've been using this along with a table as an exercise desk for a few weeks and I love it. While I don't do 8 hour days while pedaling, I can pedal for hours while working on my laptop, reading, etc. My kids will even use it and pedal while the play video games or watch T.V. (We have it in the family room, so people will use it.) The only drawback, the seat is a little uncomfortable.

I really don't know as I have only used it for races up to a 5K. I believe it will go for 24 hours.JHP

I use it twice a day.. And I got it a month back.. And I think it would definitely last for another 12-14 days.. So on the whole it might run for month and a half or a bit more ..

I am considering purchasing this - SurfShelf Treadmill Desk: Laptop and iPad Holder - for that purpose but not sure if it'll work or not. Seems like an area someone should invest in, heh.

It depends on the desk and the angle you are setting the stamina Instride at.Truthfully, if your desk has a key board shelf, you will probably have a very close, if not impossible, clearance for the way we use it at our house. If you lowered it to the lowest level, there is a possibility, BUT, the angle will be so shallow that you will probably be pushing the unit more than pedaling it - if you do not have a matt to make sure it does not "run away" from you.

This unit has a modest load rating, I don't remember the exact number since I was purchasing for a computer. My best guess is that a treadmill draws more power (amps) than this unit is rated for. Sorry not to be more helpful.
