NordicTrack vs. Sole: which one is better for a running impact?

[Joy DeMark]

I'm looking for a treadmill to last long, and stand the strength of a running/jogging speed every week. I'm also interested in one that has an incline. I'm a shorter person (5" 3'), so I'm not against an average sized deck, but I do want it to be wide enough. With all of that considered, which is the better product for me: a Nordictrack treadmill or a Sole? Also, which model?

Based on your size and intended usage, we'd recommend one of the Nordictrack Commercial treadmills. The 1750, 2450, or 2950 are all excellent treadmills for running. Nordictrack has lots of detractors who love to bag on the brand - but truly, these three treadmills feature the best cushioning of any model we've used. The Sole F80 or Sole F85 are also good options. They are much simpler, don't off the same subscription content, and the console is a bit dated - but functionally, they're excellent. Depending on your budget and space parameters, we recommend starting with these options and narrowing it from there. Let us know if you have any other questions!
