We say: This treadmill helps you imagine you're actually running a race rather than running in place. It includes a simulation of the Bolder Boulder 10-K, re-creating every big twist and turn--and hill--on the course. More generic distance programs, such as a marathon, half-marathon, and 5-K course, are designed to simulate running outdoors across a set distance. This means a hill or valley goes by faster as you pick up speed instead of stretching on and on to match a timed interval. We like the training log that provides progress reports for up to five people, including fastest times. You can even store your fitness test results so you can measure improvement over time.
Our tester says: "Excellent across the board. The deck was smooth and not too bouncy." --Brian Bess, 50
