Treadmills are a bit like the loo-roll of the moment - most of the websites I've looked out are out of stock of every model, even the ones that cost thousands... (nb, you should not make a treadmill using loo roll).

These shoes must be the discreet lockdown variety so no-one notices you flouting the guidelines with a sneaky extra run

Gus, I didnt think I could justify the £400-£500 spend and was looking at lower end of the market but knew there were limitations, but working on the basis that something is better than nothing
Didnt properly look and didnt explore 2nd hand, but suspect that I would need to travel to collect which may not be classed as essential travel.

If you were starting up a business dealing in 2nd hand treadmills it would presumably be ok

Be aware the lower end treadmills have restrictions on their speed and typically have a shorter belt (so not so good for intervals). I ended up spending a bit more to make sure it will fit all of my needs for now and in the future

But not sure I understand the need for a treadmill right now - we are allowed to go running!

jda, I guess many people suspect a full lockdown is coming, or can't use gym ones as usual, or like me they've thought about one to avoid ice/wind/rain and this has tipped them over the edge into buying one.

Also, if you want to run longer it's easier to do that on a treadmill whereas this might be policed somehow in the future
