I'm thinking about getting a treadmill to use on days that for some reason or other I can't get out on the road. Something that's well-built, the belt doesn't walk/slip etc. I'd probably be running on it somewhere in the range of 6-8 min miles for 5-10 miles. Any suggestions?
I've had a Norditrack for about 10 years now. Still runs like the day I bought it.

Thats sounds great. Is it a particular model?
Any treadmill runners out there?

It's the c2200. Bought it in 2003. With the rate of the advancement of technology, I'm sure the updated versions are much better. But mine still runs great, so im keeping it until it dies!
I cannot decide if I should get a used big sturdy treadmill or a new one at Sears for about the same price. There is a place that gets used ones from fitness centers and fixes them up.

Thanks for the recommendation, coffee me. I'll check this series out.
I got a weslo cadence 450 from walmart 10 years ago for $300 and it's still working great. I use it to warmup every morning before running.
It's a basic model and the electricity use is insignificant. The belt could be wider, as it's only 16 inches wide. If this one ever goes out then I'll get a wider one.
There are a lot of ratings of treadmills on amazon. After looking through them, I decided to stick with this one awhile longer.
