I want to buy a treadmill for a beginning runner. What is the best choice for under $2000?
User is 6ft tall, 200 lbs and eventually wants to run in a marathon. A folding model would be ideal. Another issue that came up is irt assembly – What is a reasonable amount of time and/or how much can one expect to pay?
Searching online has come up with the Sole F80 and the Smooth 6.25 but there are so many testimonials / endorsements that one begins to question there validity. There is also a NordicTrack 4200 for sale in the needed price range.
I would really prefer to stay btwn $1200 and $1700 but I’m afraid that a machine in that range will break down within a year or two.
If there are any serious runners out there… Please help… Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
The IFIT is a great treadmill and very affordable. Mine cost me about $800. but there are more expensive models. Mine has plenty of bells and whistles though. I have had my treadmill for several years and it hasn’t had any problems. Good Luck
