Running? Has anyone used this for consistent running? Speeds between 7-8 mph for 30 mins at a time?

Wish someone would answer you. I am interested as well. Maybe not that fast though. I weigh about 100lbs and am hoping due to my size (being a shrimp) that I can get away with a machine that isn't monster-sized. This one seems ideal. I run about 6-7mph...Please let me know if you've found anything out!Thanks,Julie

i likewise had the same question. the stated up to 8 mph was the piece of information that grabbed me given i typically run at 6.5 to 7.5 mph on the gym treadmills.anyway, to answer your question: the max speed of this is 6 mph...NOT 8 mph as stated on the amazon webpage!!!!! buzzkill. however, the 6mph seems relatively considerably faster than my gym treadmill's 6mph. as for running, it can handle it. i'm 6 feet tall and weight in around 165 # for reference.hope this helped

No trouble at all. I've used this many times at that speed for long distances and had no issues. Haven't gone past 85 though.

No not for running... It's top pace is 4 mph.... Fast walking.... Or walking but for like 3 hours or more

Oops. Sorry. I thought you were asking about a different model. This is a good treadmill. I walk on it at 4 mph and there is no rattle or anything so I don't see you having a problem running on it.

10 mph, but I have not tried that high. If you are a serious runner I'd recommend a higher level treadmill.

I have not, but I think you may be disappointed with your results. My experiences continues to be that this devices is most accurate and reliable when your forearm is held in a position that keeps it parallel to the ground as when you are running or fast walking. When the forearm is held in another position its performance is highly suspect. I was sent a firmware upgrade in May of this year that helped a little but it still isn't ready for prime time in my opinion.

I've ran mine for two and a half hrs straight. Or around 20 miles. I love this system. Good luck.

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.

Yes, same speed: 7 mph. Battery is not lasting too long. Is wise to have a second battery.

Yes. I've used mine in the gym / outside every day for 8 months to date. I'm a runner logging up to 50 miles a week.

I use this if I work at home (I'm a programmer), or if I'm video gaming in my off time (I'm a gamer). I received mine late March 2014, and I've used it roughly 5 days a week since, for 1 - 4 hours each session (usually around 2 hours though). I usually walk at 2.0 mph. Using those ball park numbers, it gives an idea of the amount of miles I have on my unit at the time of writing this. I've had no issues, odd sounds, ect.

I have been using one and have not found slowness to be an issue at all. Your milage may vary. I run three -headed, very regularly for hour and hours per day - sometimes more than 20. However I run with my charger plugged into my laptop almost all of the time. I plub my Diamond BVU USB directly into one of the two USB ports on the side of my early-2011 Macbook Pro i7 2 GHz Intel Core I7 laptop with 16 GB of RAM installed and a booted from a 480 GB Crucial SSD, BTW.

They change speeds, but I haven't tried it. I'm using in a kind of minimalist way and I'm not ready for programs for the super fit., which I think that is trying to get one to a super fit state.

I am 6' 3" and 200# I run pretty fast on it (as much as 8.5mph depending on the workout). I have now cracked the deck twice. I am upsizing to a higher rated treadmill. I think it would be fine for walking or slower running as it worked great for me before when I was much heavier and slower.

I don't have an exact time. So far I've been experimenting with various speeds to see what works best. It just seemed that when I ran it on the top speed it was eating up power. I'll try a more rigorous test during the week and try to post it here.

It works great for my running requirements. I monitor my SPM (steps per minute) to ensure I am keeping a specific pace/cadence.

Sorry, I just bought mine. I am hoping I am using proper speeds for each item I juice, especially when using the multiples. The book gives you speeds for some but not for many others. I am hoping I don't burn out mine. I will find your answered request helpful too.
