Most runners are familiar with that feeling of frustration when they have to cancel their scheduled run. Factors such as extreme weather, daylight, family life, or work commitments are just a few of the reasons that could prevent you from leaving the house for your much-anticipated run. Investing in a treadmill gives you the flexibility and reassurance that you need to make sure that you don’t miss out on any of your workouts.
With many different models of treadmills on the market, it can be hard to choose the best one for your profile. To help you in your decision-making, we’ve compiled a list of ten of the best ones on offer. You'll find a range of models, from more basic machines orientated towards gentle workouts, all the way up to high-performance connected treadmills for intensive training.

GO TO THE RECOMMENDERStill not convinced? Here are some of the benefits of treadmill running:
- Convenience: If you’re waiting for a work call, expecting an important delivery, or hoping to bank a few miles while your baby takes a nap, a treadmill is the perfect way to train.
- Safety: If you don’t like running by yourself or feel unsafe going out in your neighbourhood, a treadmill will be a liberating addition to your training equipment.
- Climate conditions: Even if you’re not a fair-weather runner, sometimes it’s almost impossible to run outside. Gale-force winds, hailstones, ice, or extreme heat can make you miss out on precious training time.
- Less impact: The treadmill running surface is easier on your joints than road running, so it can be ideal if you’re trying to increase your mileage or returning to running after an injury.
- Speed control: If you’re the type of runner that can never respect your paces for your easy runs or you find it hard to stay on-pace for your interval training, you’ll probably benefit from some treadmill workouts. It’s easy to follow your progress, and you can respect your training plan to the letter.
Treadmills tend to get some bad press, but as you can see, there are a huge number of benefits from owning one, and it could really revolutionise your training.
