Training for a half-marathon

[Julieiuli]

Hi, I am looking to get a treadmill to assist in training for a half-marathon.  I am looking at the Nordictrack 1750 and the Sole F80.  Is there one you recommend over another?  I also was considering a Bowflex, but there doesn't seem to be as many details on what that can handle. Thank you!

I prefer the Nordictrack 1750 over the Sole F80. While some people love subscription content and others don't want to pay for it, you are getting a quality treadmill either way on the 1750 - and you don't have to pay for a subscription if you don't want it. Training for a half-marathon will require lots of time on the tread, and the 1750 has more cushioning as well. There's nothing wrong with the Sole F80 - it's a great treadmill. It's just a bit simpler and has less cushioning than the 1750. Let us know what you decide!
