Re: Insane Friday

I've been out of commission for 2 days due to a cold, but was able to manage a 10K easy on the TM last night. I will try to run easy again tonight before my weekend double.

On another note, I finished reading Dean Karnazes' 50/50 on the train this morning. Very good book :)

Have a nice weekend!

Re: Treadmill Accuracy question

Hi guys, Quick update on my treadmill issue. I did some tests during the weekend and did not find anything conclusive. I let the treadmill run for 20 miles@6mph and got times ranging from 09:43 to 10:10, but still got an average of 09:58/mile. Not too far from the 10:00 expected. I then hook up my g...

Re: Treadmill Accuracy question

Thanks for all the replies guys,

I definately need to do some more tests. I may have made an error when I wrote down the time..I doubt it.. but I can't remember for sure anymore.

I'll do some more runs and get back to you with the results.

Re: Treadmill Accuracy question

Kristen, I used the timer on the mill. It can really be that it takes some time at the beginning to ramp up to the selected speed, but it still doesn't explain why it took me the same time to do a mile at 6.6 mph as it did at 6mph...?? Indeed it doesn't... I'm thinking either gremlins or beer were ...

Re: Treadmill Accuracy question

Last night, I decided to do some tests. I started the mill at 6mph for 1 mile. It should take 10:00, but ended up with 10:06. I did the same thing at 8mph for 1 mile and got 7:37 instead of 7:30. Steve, were you timing it from when the console already displayed 6 mph and 8 mph? Or, did you start ti...

Treadmill Accuracy question

Hi guys, I recently notice something weird with my treadmill. I did a 13 miles LSD, with 10 miles@ 6.0 mph, 1@6.2mph, 1@6.4mph and the last mile @6.6 mph. Quick average calculation should be 6.1 mph right? NOT. I ended up with a 5.8 mph average! When I sped up for the last 3 miles, I noticed each mi...

I didn't have time to do my 22K LSD yesterday, so I'll do it tonight after work.

It should help to digest the tons of food I munched during the Habs and Superbowl games! :)

How do you tell if a treadmill has a lot of mileage and if it was well maintained? Do you recommend buying a used one?

Thanks


Do I take that as an answer to NOT buy a used treadmill? :?
