Can you run/jog on this? The written description says yes you can run, but the video implies "for walking fitness". Thanks,

We just walk, but my best guess is that light, slower jogging would be fine. I agree with both of the other comments.

Dear Diane,Do not purchase this piece of crap. You can barely walk on it, let alone run. The belt gets stuck every time the seam rotates through the roller. I didn't even bother returning it, I junked it! Hope this helps & sorry for the bad news.

I have done a little running on this but, unless you're more coordinated than me (and that wouldn't be hard), you need to hang on because it's a short treadmill. Having said that, this is always on an angle and walking on it is a great workout too. I have never owned a full size treadmill, but I like this one for fitness.

you can jog if you want to run, you'll need to get a more expensive electric one.

yes you can run on it. it is sturdy enough and will only go as fast or slow as you do.

I would say yes, it can be used as a jog stroller. Just lock the front wheel or it will wiggle a lot and force the stroller to make sudden stops. I always lock front wheel when walking fast/jogging or on walking on rough terrain.

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.

no, this shouldnt be used to jog with, its not steady enough at higher speeds, this is just the perfect stroller for traveling or day to day general use - so easy to collapse and carry, lays flat and isnt bulky

I jog on my treadmill and don't move the desk back. I'm not doing a hard run, but jogging. Works for me.

No. Not for outside runs. I think you can for treadmill runs if you need that.

I have never tried to run or jog on this treadmill. I truly do not know, but remember it is not motorized.

I wouldn't expect to jog with it for two reasons: 1) the tires are not inflatable bike tires like you find on jogging strollers so the ride is bumpy and 2) the front wheels turn easily enough that you would constantly need to course correct. It's still a phenomenal stroller, though it isn't necessarily built for that purpose. We opted for this one instead of the jogging stroller because we realized that running would be the exception of use cases for us, whereas everyday walking is the norm.

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

It's not really designed for running. The wheels are hard plastic, not rubber. It's more a jogging style look as opposed to function

Hi Leticia. I have not tried running with it but I love walking with it it's very comfortable and easy to maneuver.

Sorry, I cannot tell. Walking is not a listed activity in the menu. But I am a slow runner, 10 minute mile and it tracks it find and I would go even slower. But I never tried to only walk.

I walk on it barefoot sometimes, but (along the lines of what Angela said) this is not a treadmill I would recommend using at higher walking/jogging speeds. I would ask the manufacturer about the actual specs of their cushioning system (if there is one) if you need details. In my experience, though... it is exactly as comfortable to walk on this treadmill as any of the expensive Precors at the local gym. A nice pair of shoes should suffice.

It's technically not a running stroller, even though the name has 'jogger' in it. It's a great all around stroller, but if you're going to run, I'd get an actual running stroller.

The max speed is 4 miles per hour, which could get you to a decent jog. But its not really designed for running. It doesn't have hand rails to hang onto, or padding to cushion the stride.

I have only used for running and hiking. However, my understanding is that it would give you speed but not pace. there would be a settings change needed for this. Similar to the cycling mode.

It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger. The three wheel design works for other joggers bc they are bigger, in this one I think the compact nature wouldn't be an asset for stability. I also have the City Elite and that one I'd use as a jogger, I currently use that to power walk with my dogs. It's much sturdier. All that said, if you still opt for this stroller, get the GT model with real wheels. We use this for travel and as a car stroller, and in just that I am not happy with the plasticy wheels. If you ran w it you'd definitely need real wheels! Hope that helps :)
