Readers Question About the NordicTrack X3 Incline Trainer

hello!
 i am interested in buying the incline trainer however i have 1 question…can you run on this machine? obviously its not advised with the incline up but if the incline is laying flat is the motor quick enough for a light jog to a slow run? i have been told by a few people that its not fast enough to run on and its just a machine to walk on…i hope i can run on it…please let me knwo when you get the chance! thanks – amanda

Yes, you can run on the Incline Trainer.  It goes up to 10 mph.  There is one issue.  You have a 54″ long treadbelt.  That is aan dequate length for an average height individual to run on.  However, the way the Incline Trainer is designed, when you lower the treadbelt a portion of it is positioned in front of the console.  You are going to lose several or more inches of running area when you have the belt at a level position.  Take a look at the photos on the left and you will see what I mean.

 
So yes you can run on it, but at a level position you may have less than 45″ for running.  If you are a jogger and moderate height, that may not be a problem.
