I got mine a few years ago off ebay got a very good deal. One thing that you should really compare when purchasing is the length of the deck. Some look good but you will have trouble walking on them never mind striding out or running.0

If you're walking on the treadmill, rather than running, you might want to look at ellipticals or arc trainers. They are fabulous calorie burners!0

I agree - look at getting a different machine that you'll enjoy using all year round. An elliptical or a rower maybe? Then when summer comes you can use that as cross-training with walking/running instead of just doing the same thing on different surfaces.0

Ellipticals are not for everyone. They hurt me heaps so I refuse to use it, it's not a natural way to walk or do anything on those. I would suggest either going for walks during the daylight hours & rugging up or if you really really REALLY cant do that then & only then get a treadmill.
I run in the dead of winter. It's getting that way now here & I'll be out in 3 deg running.0 -
I am! Thanks for that0

I have never tried either of those before, I will see if there are some I can go try0
