My treadmill died this weekend, which I could see coming because it was starting to drop speed periodically. Good excuse to buy something newer and better.
I've been doing research and also tested a few treadmills at a local fitness store. I know the Sole is pretty well regarded here, and the F85 at $2K is a strong contender. However, I do a lot of interval running, and the quick speed adjustments on the Sole is pretty goofy. There are direct buttons for 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 mph. But from one of those speeds, you have to hit a button in 0.1 mph increments for adjustment. And of course I spend most of my time in the 6-8 mph range, which would mean a lot of frequent button pressing.
I came across the Technogym MyRun, which seems pretty interesting because you connect your iPad to it as an additional control screen. You aren't paying for a huge screen, and you don't have to pay for a subscription, like you essentially have to do with a Peloton. The Technogym app also has a pretty easy way to create and save custom workouts, which is a huge plus for the way I use a treadmill. I also like the simple large levers for manual speed and incline adjustments.
Does anyone have a MyRun or tried one? If so, I'd love to hear your feedback about the running deck and overall operation, including how well it plays with the app. There aren't many reviews on this treadmill. I found a few old comments on this forum complaining about reliability, although nothing specific, so I'm hoping to get more recent feedback.
In case it helps, my treadmill setup is a large TV on the wall in front to watch shows, so I don't need a treadmill with a TV screen for viewing media. With the MyRun, I would use my iPad to run my custom workouts and maybe display Zwift running.
