jomo_richmond Mar 2020 3:25pm, 23 Mar 2020 107 posts	0 jomo_richmond I just splashed out and bought a ProForm Pro 5000 foldable treadmill. It wasn't cheap but it gets very good reviews and I honestly think a lot of my training will have to be done indoors for a while. It looks pretty sturdy (it is taking three guys to deliver it!) and appears suited for doing speed work and decent distance. I have always preferred running outside but there is a good chance London gets much more aggressive on lockdown than it has to date. It looks like treadmills and gym equipment are getting increasingly tougher to buy online, new or second hand. I originally tried just to rent one but everywhere I checked was out of stock. I was highly tempted by the Nordictrack 2450 as well, auburnette, but it was beyond my budget.

chunkywizard Mar 2020 4:19pm, 23 Mar 2020 7,277 posts	0 chunkywizard I just bought a Sprint 7 from these guys jtxfitness.com but from their website sounds like they are out of stock now. There is an email list for when they have some more. The treadmill itself is nice to run on, its got a folding mechanism (but it still quite big) and goes quick enough for me. The display isn't very good, but you can like it to an iPad for display via Kinomap or you can just use Zwift (if you have a Bluetooth speed input). More than happy yo answer more questions on it if they come back into stock.

This allows a dumb treadmill to link to a Garmin watch as a footpod, or a tablet to play Zwift. It works really well.

chunkywizard Mar 2020 8:38pm, 28 Mar 2020 7,302 posts	0 chunkywizard With my treadmill purchase the courier company would carry it to any room in the house. You have to put it together on your own though (but it wasn’t too hard). Main thing was the size of the box, you need a fair bit of space just to unpack it!
