I did a ton of research and decided on a Horizon T101 for myself....and then I watched and waited until I found a good deal on Craigslist. It's perfect for me, but I only walk and do intervals, so I didn't need a $2000 machine. A serious runner needs a much more expensive machine.....but they can be found on Craigslist, too, if Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981507872467300018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-91641288348794868082016-10-08T11:27:48.436-04:002016-10-08T11:27:48.436-04:00I have a Proform treadmill that is just over 10 ye...I have a Proform treadmill that is just over 10 years old now and still going strong (knock on wood).

Previously I'd had a NordicTrac for 10+ years that eventually fell apart.<br /><br />I can't remember what I paid for it, but I was generally looking for under $2000.<br /><br />I had also been looking for brands like True, Spirit, and Landice, but I discovered that when I wanted to find stores with specific Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990649439090414595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-87876157226202193292016-10-07T12:14:32.192-04:002016-10-07T12:14:32.192-04:00Love our TRUE!

I was shopping with the exact same concerns. I wanted good quality, good motor, comfortable running deck, long lasting, and wasn't interested in all the bells and whistles. True fit the bill. I've been running on my treadmill for about a year now and am very happy with it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814944355023705149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-60842566508756846372016-10-07T08:11:09.158-04:002016-10-07T08:11:09.158-04:00Actually, the 10K plan that I wrote is 80/20 :) I ...Actually, the 10K plan that I wrote is 80/20 :) I don't regret taking it easy during the summer. I had trained SO hard for my 10K, it was really nice to take a break! I think I'll be ready to train hard again in a few months. A huge congrats on your PR's! Isn't it amazing how slowing down your easy runs can make you so much faster?

If you can look up what issues they had reviews for treadmills, you could then find those issues at your public library to read them. Then use that information to look for recommended models on Craigslist. I bet you could find a crazy good deal on one second hand.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328636861375741176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-14136807186593176732016-10-06T22:26:03.193-04:002016-10-06T22:26:03.193-04:00We have a TRUE brand treadmill...Love it!
