What is the minimum speed on this treadmill? What is the minimum speed on this one?

It starts at 0.4 mph which is about what I walk without support. I am very slow but I can walk faster due to the support bars, and can go 1.1 to 1.3 when I hang on, much less when I do not. I recommend she hang on because it is less likely to fall when you do, and you compensate for it by walking faster.

Oops. Sorry. I thought you were asking about a different model. This is a good treadmill. I walk on it at 4 mph and there is no rattle or anything so I don't see you having a problem running on it.

I don't know if the model has been changed in that regard (I doubt it) but my wheels are grounded when I lift the deck. The treadmill moves very easily backwards or forwards and requires some twisting if if you need to *turn* as the wheels are straight.

Hello, Keep in mind that the board is inclined, that's why the belt slides backwards, sometimes mine does it. I think is normal. I don't mind because anyway, that is the purpose: keep on moving. You control the speed of course...After all this time using it....It became my BEST FRIEND EVER!!!! You should see my legs!!! so toned! I tight some weights along with a pedometer and walk for 40 minutes 3 times a week (Now, but at the very beginning, I was doing only 10-15 min and I was drained! lol)...This is a REAL work out!!! My pedometer shows I burn over 500 calories (Depending on my speed) This treadmill is not so comfortable like the regulars (Electric ones) that we all are used to, but It's been a great help for me. From mid January till now, I dropped 20 pounds combining this work out and reducing calories and I love it! Be patient and give it a try, hope it works for you, like it does for me.

10 mph, but I have not tried that high. If you are a serious runner I'd recommend a higher level treadmill.

I was 152 lbs when I started running on this treadmill. It's very sturdy but a little noisier than most. I listen to music while running so it doesn't bother me. Be advised, this is NOT a flat surface treadmill, it has a slight incline. I took 2 1" pieces of practical board and lifted the rear . Even after that it's still sturdy.

I might be wrong, but I think the top speed is 4mph. That might be something of a jog, but not really running. The speed increment is 0.1mph - it's really meant for walking / fast walking.

I don't know the specific speed but it is not slow for me. Just be aware that it is very small, you need to attach it to something like a key chain to avoid loosing it.

Unfortunately I do not know a lot about the different treadmills, I googled magnetic key for whatever name and model my treadmill was and it brought me to the Amazon site... I wish I could be more helpful !

Wish someone would answer you. I am interested as well. Maybe not that fast though. I weigh about 100lbs and am hoping due to my size (being a shrimp) that I can get away with a machine that isn't monster-sized. This one seems ideal. I run about 6-7mph...Please let me know if you've found anything out!Thanks,Julie

Perhaps the slope is too steep. I put a one-inch thick book under each of the lower legs to lessen the slope. Also be sure to grab hold of the handlebars as you step on. Finally, if the problem is the treadmill rubber mat moving too quickly, perhaps you've put too much oil underneath it and you need to wipe some of it off. Hope these ideas help.

I would consider this a beginners treadmill. If you are a runner, outside or a high end treadmill would be more appropriate for you.

This treadmill operates up to 4 mph while some other 'normal' treadmills I looked at (http://www.amazon.com/ProForm-PFTL60910-Proform-505-Treadmill/dp/B0048HS02G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1383233938&sr;=8-3&keywo;rds=treadmill) go up to 10mph. 4mph is a bit too fast for me to walk on safely, but I'm not sure how that translates to your body size or fitness level. Just in case it may help, I have read about people elevating the front of this treadmill for a mild incline to increase resistance.

Hi Debbi, it only has one speed. I try to compensate for the lack of multiple speeds by sqeezing the trigger in a pulse manner in order to achieve a slower speed.

The treadmill starts off at 0.4 mph and each button press adds 1/10 mph. I usually walk at 1.5 mph, so that's 11 button presses, which goes pretty quick. I'd estimate I'm walking at 1.5 mph within 3-4 seconds of starting up.

This is a manual treadmill. A small dog would NOT be able to move the treadmill. My advice - take him for a WALK.

Hi Kurt. I did the same thing with the speed, and ended up with a potential Lucille Ball moment! Going back to the instructions and reading it properly.......turn on the treadmill, THE RED BUTTON, it will give you a 3 beep countdown, get on the treadmill, and press the + key to get to the speed you want.
