My wife is looking for an inexpensive treadmill she can run on, not one just for walking. The only cheap ones we can find are the ProForm's at Sears.

What's your budget?

What sports (Copelands, etc.) stores are in your area?

So far this is the best that I have found - Pro Form 495pi at sears for $399. I took SportMart 20% treadmill coupon to Sears this weekend and tried to see if Sears would accept it-- they didn't. It was kind of fun watching the sales people talk about it though.

From other forums there is a Sears coupons for $15 off fitness stuff. American Express merchant zone has a printable $25 of $75 Sportmart coupon, so I guess I will try that coupon to see if it works. The Sears deal ends tomorrow so I guess I am going with this treadmill, unless you can come up with any better deals?

Low end treadmills are not good for running on as they bounce too much. Try before you buy. If you intend to use the treadmill daily, you might want to consider a service contract as most Pro Form & Weslo machines only have a 90 warranty.
