I’ve been talking for a while about the sad demise of my old treadmill.
I think I literally ran it to death as I used it for miles and miles of marathon training through winters of excessive snow and summers of ridiculous heat. I was sad to see it go, but I’m really excited about my new treadmill that arrived yesterday.
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is big change from my old treadmill. It’s bigger (hence the cleaning out of the playroom), it’s more powerful, and it’s WAY more techy. After years of running on a functional treadmill, I’m kind of excited to try out the bells and whistles on my new one.
Here are some of the awesome features of the NordicTrack Commercial 1750:
- The treadmill inclines 15% AND declines 3% – I’ve never actually run downhill on a treadmill before so that seems like a fun feature.
- The belt is 60″ long. This is pretty standard on today’s treadmills, but it’s a lot wider than what I’m used to.
- It has its own workout fans! You know I’ll be using those as I run in the Virginia heat (ok, I could also turn on the AC in the room, but where’s the fun in that???)
- It has a web-enabled touchscreen. Umm, I don’t even know where to start with that. Guess there’ll be a learning curve there.
- It has an adjustable tablet holder. I like to read when I’m running slow or watch mindless tv if I’m running faster. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve narrowly missed shaking the Kindle off of a treadmill console.
- It’s iFit enabled. I’ll be able to do so many cool things, including setting up Street View so I can actually go for a run somewhere besides my house without leaving the treadmill.
I’ve only run a couple of test miles on it so far and I haven’t had much of a chance to figure out the cool techy features, but so far I’m a happy camper.
It runs smoothly and adjusts at the touch of a button. I promise I’ll do a full review after I put a few (hundred) miles on it. And the timing was perfect – time to write a training plan for the 7 half marathons in 7 days that isn’t just about a billion long slow miles. And maybe this summer won’t be quite the sufferfest that last year was as I prepare again for Marine Corps Marathon.

Major treadmill upgrade! If we only had the space for a treadmill, my excuses for it being too hot or too cold would be dashed! Enjoy!
Yeah, I’m lucky that we have space to devote to one – of course, it’s also good that my kids aged out of using the playroom…
Wow! Now that’s a product worth blogging for! I think I would love the street view programs – that should cut the tedium of treadmill running.
I know, right??? I can’t wait to check out all the cool stuff.
Awesome! The workout fans are a life-changer! (and what I miss the most from going to the gym vs. my “home gym”). 😉
Enjoy!!
We always had a fan sitting on the floor aimed at the treadmill LOL.
Mine is old. About as old as my car, which will be 16 this year! I hate having to invest that much money in something, but I do get a lot of use out of mine, too. I think maybe I paid $1000 for it way back in the day, and Mr. Judy really questioned that, but it was a wise decision.
And I didn’t even run when we bought it!
NordicTrack, I’d love to review one too — are you listening? 🙂
Mine was 10 and it got heavy usage from both of us, so I wasn’t surprised when it died. So glad to have a replacement though.
I think this may be the same TM I have and I love it. I did very extensive research on this because it said the rubber it uses for the belt can cause cancer. That almost put me over the edge..lol. I suppose if i’m not eating the rubber I will be okay. (at least that is what the customer service rep told me…lol). I know I’m paranoid!
I’ll remember not to roll around on the deck. ;o) I do like it so far.
Oh my, that sounds like the treadmills of treadmills, and I’m completely jealous! haha I’ve never used one that goes downhill. And someone who lives on a very steep hill, I can tell you that walking downhill is just at challenging at going up hill. In fact, I think I have a tougher time going down than going up lol I can’t run on my treadmill due to the house we live in, but when we finally buy a home of our own, I’m most definitely putting this bad boy on my wish list 🙂
It is pretty nice. It’s definitely an upgrade from what I had.
Wow that is an awesome treadmill! I didn’t realize they make them with the ability to decline now, very cool!
Yeah, it’s kind of a cool little feature.
Can’t wait to hear what you think about it after you’ve played around with it for awhile! I’m looking for a new treadmill too and this one has been on my list. Happy running!
I’ll definitely review it after I’ve used it for a while.
yahoo!!! Super jealous!
Thanks!
I don’t think I’ve seen such a large treadmill before! It just looked huge in the pic then you say it’s 60″ wide…the belt is almost as wide as I am tall.
Sorry, typo – it’s 60″ long LOL. It is big though.
Awesome! Congrats on the new addition. What I wouldn’t give for that decline feature.
It was a little weird the first time I tried it. I don’t know how often I’ll use it.
Sounds like a great new piece of equipment to have. I must say, I’m a tad jealous.
I’m quite excited to have it.
I want one!!! I’m jealous haha. I love their incline.
I didn’t realize how often I relied on a treadmill until I didn’t have one LOL. It’s good to be back in action.
Nice mill!! HAs a lot of the same features I have on the Proform! I’m sure you will love it!
The one you have was on my short list as well. I’m really looking forward to using this one.
That is a gorgeous treadmill!!! But wait a minute, you got it as compensation? Please tell us how.
Great post on the Commercial 1750, this treadmill is built like a tank. I can’t wait for your 100+ miles review.
