The Best Treadmills for Running

If you’re looking for the best treadmill for running, the C Series or Incline Trainers are the ones to consider.


Both treadmills can reach maximum speeds of 12 MPH, roughly a five-minute mile pace. So, if you want to snag your next PR or personal record, you can’t go wrong with either one.


The C Series and Incline Trainers also both feature our Runner’s Flex™ Cushioning, which provides extra support and absorbs the shock when you run, so it doesn’t feel like it would if you were running on pavement.


Lastly, our CHP motor provides continuous horsepower, giving you a consistent, even running experience.

This feature is perfect for hikers, trail runners, and anyone looking to take their running to new heights. Visit this page now to learn more about our Incline Trainers.


The C Series may be perfect for those runners reading this who are just looking to train for upcoming races or marathons. Enjoy up to a 12% incline and a -3% decline. The C Series also offers our SpaceSaver® folding design*, which is great if your home gym is limited in space, and our EasyLift™ Assist. The latter feature significantly cuts down the weight of lifting the treadmill, so you can easily fold it up or down. It also securely locks it in place automatically when it’s not in use.

*Note: The Incline Trainers do not fold up like the C Series treadmills.

The Best Treadmills for Walking

Any of the latest treadmills from NordicTrack will be great for walking, but here’s what you’ll want to know about each one to help you decide.


The C Series and Incline Trainers have a slightly longer belt, which is great for taller users and longer stride lengths.


The C Series and EXP Series reach up to a 12% incline. However, the C Series also offers a -3% decline. So, the latter treadmill can mimic walking up and down a hill, while the former can only go up an incline.


These two home treadmills also have our SpaceSaver® design and EasyLift™ Assist, which means they can fold up and be stored when not in use. The EasyLift™ Assist helps carry most of the treadmill belt's weight, so it’s not nearly as heavy to lift up and down. It also automatically and easily locks into place when not in use.


The Incline Trainers do not fold up; however, they offer the highest award-winning incline at 40% and a -6% decline. So, if you enjoy climbing steep mountains and taking your fitness to the next level, these treadmills may be perfect for you.


The EXP Series treadmills also have a compact footprint, which is great for smaller spaces and home gyms.


Our CHP motor also provides continuous horsepower, giving you a consistent, even walking experience.
