Your money is yours to spend and I can't give you advice on the treadmill but you know, the outdoors is free and way more fun than a treadmill. I mean, WAY WAY WAAAAAY more fun.

Looks ok, but havent heard of the brand. Bear in mind you may never use any of the programmes in this thing. Mine only ever gets used on manual. A lot of the fancy stuff they tout on treadmills youll never use, like towel holders, programmes, even the speakers you could live without. Pay for a good motor, incline, and one that folds.

And if you can get into it, running outdoors IS better. I hardly use my tready now, cos I hate running inside, does my head in.

You might be better asking this in the running forum. I can move it there if you like?

I'd adivse caution before spending that much on any fitness kit though. It can be very depressing when it's poking you in the eye unused.
