Looking to buy a treadmill for the winter months. Leave for work when it's dark and come back when it's also dark. No street lights where we live and don't fancy running by torchlight. Budget is around the £2000 mark and needs to be folding. Currently looking at the life fitness F3 but would welcome any ideas/personal experiences. I'm pretty much a novice runner but the wife can clock up some serious distances. Half marathon sub 2 hours at first attempt.


Thanks in advance.

Try mine, the most expensive coat hanger ever , Electric, up to 125 kgs, 11 mph, uphill & 10 programmes, yours if you wish to collect & a small donation to the RNLI or help the hero's , you would be nuts to spend 2k on one of these

That's very generous of you. I may have done a similar thing with a weights bench that was taking up too much space and never got used.

It's an horizon quantum GT & we have had it about 3-4 years
,
I have taken one of the handles of purely for space reasons the Handle is in the garage, Obviously anybody wanting it will have to collect,

Wimbledon Area

not Received any mail as of yet, I spend most on my PH time trolling the football forums so im told , so i would give preference to regular posters on there first ' if nobody from the football forum comes in by 18.00 today then first come first serve, it's a great machine , the wife just wants it out of the house

Looks as big as our 'clothes airer' so you'll probably need a transit or similar to transport it.

We've got a Reebok iRun bought secondhand off ebay a few years back & it's been absolutely great. I've fixed an ipad bracket to the wall in front of it & watch iplayer etc while I'm running. Bracket's made by Brodit.se
