    Anyone have a treadmill outdoors? We really want to buy one but only have space in back yard. Do we need to buy a shed for it? Would love to hear about any solutions anyone might have. Thx

    :D

    Treadmill + Rain = Problems

    Treadmill + Buying a Shed for the Treadmill = Headache

    There's always the option of "real running" ;)

    Why bother with a treadmill if you still have to run in the cold and wind and rain?

    Some reason you can't save yourself the price, boredom and other drawbacks of a treadmill by just going running? Treadmills were invented to punish prisoners and that pedigree shows :)

    Kate - not a great idea.

    Electric treadmill kept outside - extension cable.

    Plus if wet, windy and cold how often are you going to use it.

    As for that atb treadmill - looks great fun - downhill could be interesting!
