Treadmill

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a treadmill that catches. I will have a good running pace and then my treadmill will catch and my face has started to come close to meeting the ground. Any advance or tips will help. :)

    My husband said our treadmill sometimes does this, but he runs way faster than me. I've never noticed it at my speed :)

    I run on the max speed, so I might turn it down a bit and see if that helps. :)

    Yes, that's probably the issue. Be safe!

    Does it need to be oiled?

    How long have you had the treadmill, they tend to do that when the motor is going bad.

    It's an older treadmill I bought from someone, it could need oil. I didn't even think of that, but it happens in one spot. I hope it isn't going bad on me, I need it! :s
