Readers Question About the NordicTrack X3 Incline Trainer

 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.
