Our old treadmill is dead and my wife would like to pick up the Peloton Tread. I am not referring of course to the more expensive one with slats people liked. I’m referring to the normal design one that is currently in the market.
I looked at the specs and frankly the motor looks a little small. I’m worried about it pausing a little on runs under my weight so I’d like to hear anecdotes of how it works for others. Here is who might run on it.
Me: 180lbs at speeds from 9min/mile to 7min/mile for speed work. Marathon training when it is too cold and icy for outdoor runs, which it will usually be for a few months,
HS kid: 155kbs at mostly 7min/mile on 5-10 mile runs. We’d make him go to the higher end gym treadmills for faster work if the home treadmill can’t handle it.
Wife at lower weight and slower speeds doing Tread workouts.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
