Is the Genu Train S light enough for long distance running. My concern is that the side bars may make it too heavy and/or clunky.

It's pretty light, but I'd think that it would eventually be felt...10 miles?

I used it for skiing and found it very light and confortable. Skied and walked all day and did not feel it at all ( nor my knee!)

I have been wearing it for martial arts, its definitely light, you wont even notice its there practically. But the only thing is the plastic bar does dig into the knee a little bit. I dont know why Genu Train hasn't fixed this issue yet.

I could see some LIGHT jogging with this stroller. It is great for hauling 2 little ones around and getting in doorways. It is comfortable for the kids and even fits in the TSA scanner. It is heavy though and would have a hard time on rough terrain.

Although the Timex Marathon watch that I had was big, it wasn't too heavy. For an inexpensive entry-level GPS, this watch worked pretty well, and I think most runners would get used to the "bulk." I hope that helps.

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

I cannot say definitively that the machine has the capacity to accommodate your requirements over the long haul. However, it is extremely well made with high quality materials. It has a large (compared to stationary bikes) and comfortable seat with a good range of adjustability. Most importantly it provides an excellent, no-impact workout in 30 minutes that I could not get on my treadmill. I'd say...go for it!

You could run with it but it's quite heavy. It's a great stroller but it's bulky, you need a full size sedan trunk for it. But, it will handle all sorts of terrain, it's a tank.

Currently running at 123kg/273lbs (myself included) on my Kona Kikapu (it has a rear motor, battery pack.etc so it is a bit heavier than your average bike) , pumped to 50psi. Run a downhill tube in the rear too, have no issues riding almost everyday.

The square part is a little heavy. I don't think this is your best choice for running.

In my honest opinion, I (being an avid runner / hiker) do not feel that any of the HBS series are good for actual jogging / running. I've owned the 700 and 730 myself. With this being pretty much the same design, the unit tends to bounce around and rotate a little around the neck. If you are willing to pay more, you might want to consider the Jay Bird X. I own those as well and prefer those for jogging / running. The HBS line is more of a everyday (walk / sit) kind of device.

I LOVE mine and I haven't even completely learned all of it's features. I chose it because my running coach (who also does tri's) has it and I knew that she could help me. I believe it would be a good choice, unless the mountain areas are poor GPS locations. Other than that, I recommend it!

I've had the single and double version of the city mini. I personally found the single fine to jog with... A little heavy but good on flat paved surfaces. I found the double to be more of a convenient, light, fast walking stroller. I run a good amount and used both through toddler age for my kids. If you are looking to jog (10 min miles or slower) I feel like this is fine. I don't think it is the best for running. If you are looking to go faster, best RUNNING stroller is the B.O.B

I own both the Ironman Dualie and the Revolution Dualie (and coach cross country) and have found that the revolution is more run worthy than I thought it would be. I fun with the front wheel free, as the fixed wheel doesn't hold a line well, and the free wheel is so easy to steer, particularly with the heavier load. The only scenarios where I have minor issues are on routes with meaningful hills, as the revolution has no hand brake, and when running faster than 8 minute miles over bumps. If the front end comes off the ground at faster speeds the wheel drifts and when it comes down catches momentarily before straightening out, which causes a sudden deceleration. Not an issue at jogging speeds, but something to watch for. That said I trained for my first marathon with the Revolution. The Ironman is awesome for trails/off-road that's stroller worthy, hills, and for running on paved trails. I ran our neighborhood with it for two years and you adapt to steering with the front wheel up pretty quickly. In either case, keep track of your load weight and adjust the shock setting when you exceed 50 lbs.

It collapses easily but is quite cumbersome even when collapsed. Not ideal for travel. We travel from Michigan to North Carolina frequently. We have one at home and one in North Carolina. LOVE the jogger, but honestly, it's best for running, hiking, walking. The fixed front wheel is perfect for runners but can be difficult to maneuver if you're trying to use it for shopping, errands, etc. We keep an inexpensive umbrella stroller in the car for that reason.

Light jogging should be ok, and depending what you're carrying. Full out sprinting, I'd be certain everything inside won't bounce around.

Recommend Logitech Ultrathin. Have not used on train but do use it on planes weekly and it is steady in all types of conditions.

I'd pass on this unit, mine works quite well however my brother in law bought one as well as a neighbor & both of them are soo poor you honestly can't make out anything, just general shapes. However on a daytime scope, an ATN or equiv. Gen. 2 monocule works quite nicely, the problem is by the time you add the scope swing arm & Ir light you right at the price of a PS22 which is far & beyond any duel purpose monocule. If a Gen. 2 is out your budget, I'd consider a high focus spot LED gun mount with a pressure switch, it's on&off instantly. You can train & make your shot in less than 3-4 secs. Just some options....

This one is too heavy and bulky for running with, in my opinion. I should get one that is much smaller and lighter than this. It would bounce around and drive you crazy.
