I originally planned to use this treadmill under my standing desk so I can walk during work. But my coworker noticed me moving around during our meeting calls and thought I was outdoor. So now Im using it for my more intense workout when I watch movies. This way I can run it at much faster speed with the handle bar up.
The treadmill came pretty much assembled. I only had to install the phone mount on the handle bar (2 screws). Pretty easy to assemble. I feel safer running fast with the handle bar up since it have an emergency stop clip. You clip onto your shirt while the other side of the string is connected to a magnet that sticks onto the handlebar. So if you fall, it will disconnect the magnet and stops the treadmill. Similar to what they use for jet skis.
I tried to run at max speed but I was not able to run fast enough. So I think this motor is good enough for me to train. Ive been running barefoot though so I might be faster when I run with a shoe. Ill have to buy a nice running shoe I can dedicate for indoor running since I dont want to dirty the machine.
Faster than I can run
