Folding treadmills recommendations

Frogface

Hi I am looking to buy a folding treadmill it must be folding as I haven't a lot of room in my apartment. Nothing to expensive max €500. It will be used for running training. Im completely new to buying treadmills so i really don't know what I am looking for. I am hoping to use to to train for marathons so it would need to be capable of a lot of use up to 5 days of the week for an hour or so.

My advice is don't buy one. I was in the same boat and did a lot of looking. reading the reviews on many sites has lead me to believe if it isn't costing 2000 it isn't going to last (there are so many parts that can and most likely will break).
The cheap ones are also very loud with a poor top speed.

I finally bit the bullet and took to the road, best decision I ever made. Started out bad, took a lot of breaks, now I'm running away and couldn't give a toss who sees me.

Thanks for the info, ya getting out and about would be great but im caught for time through out the day I was hoping a treadmill would help me keep up the training. €2000 thats a definite no no. Ok back to the drawing board
