I hate running but I ran on the Peloton Tread

- Peloton released its second machine, the Tread, as a followup to its popular stationary Peloton bike earlier this year. This got us wondering - if a bike could build such a big community over indoor cycling, can the Peloton Tread help a non-runner train for a 5K?

What tech has helped you achieve something you thought you could never do?
Peloton Bike
Apple watch
Fitbit
Avoiding anything made by Peloton
Kindle! Never thought I'd like reading until I got one
I think the most impressive part of this whole video is that she beat CANCER...TWICE
Or that she got cancer twice at such a young age...
Probably not pancreatic cancer
Natt Garun then is really impressive
Hopefully she changed her diet and lifestyle.
Dee leave
Congrats @NATTGARUN on being a survivor as well as setting a goal and completing it. You are a superstar 👍🏼
you cant survive any cancer without a ton of money. cancer treatments sure as hell are nowhere near close to free and usually bankrupt families.
BobRooney ok but maybe just be glad she survived cancer twice?
@@BobRooney290 how'd that work out for Steve Jobs?
I bought the Nike+ Apple Watch to get me back into running, definitely didn't need it, but I've been out running a little more now just to justify the purchase.
Hahahaha
Yesss! Convert a impulse purchase to a positive! Keep it up!
how is the gps working for you? i also bought the series 4. gps is really bad in trail running.
@@anejaG55 It's been pretty good, as accurate as I can ask for. A few hiccups but not many. I only run in urban areas though.
Nice try Apple/Nike
I want Peloton to bring out a swimming pool. I have no idea how they'll do it, but I want a pool by the side of my bed.
Hannah Wilk me too!
Same lol
Lap pool?
People spend $4k on all sorts of things, if it gets you moving and motivates you then why not? Great job Natt! I feel inspired to get off the couch!
That's the spirit! See you on the tracks - Natt
I agree. Everyone's criticizing purchasing such an expensive treadmill, but if it makes the difference between sticking to your routine or failure, then it seems absolutely worth it.
Totally agree! So many people laughed at me when I spent 2k on my road bike - but it motivated the hell out of me riding the coastline and into a half-century ride (50 miles). My old bike was heavy and just not a fun ride.
Buying the bike makes more sense. You can run for free, but I think the bike would take less space and incorporate a tiny bit of strength training. Plus, you can still get a runner’s high on a normal treadmill.
ray dollars only rich people spend 4k on a treadmill
buy a $200 treadmill and attach an iMac on it, save $3000 and watch anything you want, or play runescape...while you're at it get yourself a chair to sit on while you walk.
Hahahaha yes!
Run outside and save $4500.
Don't run and save 5K.
200$ treadmill?
you already threw away 3000 for an imac why not 4000 on a threadmill. :D , talking about saving money an throwing in a imac :D
Definitely not paying $4000+
But you're super, super, super strong for surviving cancer twice! I hope you never have to go through that again. 🙏
this is quality TH-cam story telling
Now, suddenly, my Apple Watch doesn't seem like that expensive... compared with this
I don't know this lady but I can't help feeling super proud of her
You can have the same results running on regular treadmill or outside. Good advice is to:
1. Run slower each time you're getting tired, but never stop. Walking still counts, but would be better if you could at least walk a bit faster.
2. Don't stare at numbers like distance and time. You start to think and imaging how tired are you ... your brain is trying to trick you! Better on treadmill open a movie or youtube, and when running outside play some audiobook, to focus your thoughts on something not related to running
3. First try to run slowly half a mile, next do the same distance, next do let's say 10% more ... or instead of distance, run as long as one chapter of audiobook you listen (or 5-15min video on youtube)
4. After few runs (maybe 10) you will feel that you're less tired than usual - that is where you're making progress
5. You don't have to run every day to finish full marathon - 1x km run every week would be more than enough
Coming from running cross country, and training people for 5 and 10k's this is a very under-rated comment.
Run outside, don't feel bad if you're sore, and miss a day. Stick with it and keep your mind off of running if you're new, focus on something that works for you and MOSTLY KEEP RUNNING.
Yeah. Can confirm. This is a brilliant and reasonable solution. I mean, really - you nailed it
I desperately needed this comment, I’m a new runner. Thank you.
While looking for a faster progress I started excercising with a coach (olympics marathon runner) and this guy doesn't like your first point. According to him, each time you're getting tired, shut up and keep working, may even add some pace. This is where you break your mentality. I think this is a turning point somewhere between "I want to run 5k" and "I want to make a marathon in a competitive time". If it's only about fun, you don't progress fast enough and your plateau is very close, which is probably enough for staying healthy though.
Therefore, point 5 is not true. I don't even know what you meant here, just never ever try marathon if you run just 1km run peer week, in the best case you won't finish. If your power of will is strong enough you'll end up with an injury.
Verge. Do more videos like this.
Just to add some context. What I find appealing in this video is its life with technology. It's a great feeling to see how this gadget helped someone reach an aspirational goal.
@@BrianBest Thank you!!
@@nattgarun9760 np! And congrats on the run!
Totally agree! The living with tech aspect is so real and engaging.
This was a great review of the peloton, but as someone who just got into running a year and a half ago, I really liked watching your progression and completion of your first 5K, which is awesome! I remember the first time I ran a 5K and couldn’t believe I actually did it! I run everyday now, and I’m all the better for it.
Forty Five Hundred Dollars.! That’s a lot of money, but with the large screen in the back and the rails on the sides, it should hold all of my clothes for a week ;-)
It would be better to buy an imac Pro and stick it on a regular treadmill 😅😅
I laughed. This is something I'd probably do too lol
I think that would be even more expensive
That would cost more though, and the treadmill wouldn’t be too good. (Slower) (more wobbley)
Why do that when you can just get a cheap tablet for under $100 and a second hand treadmill for $200.
Muharrem Yasin Güneş kocum muharrem
First, congrats on completing your 5K.
The Peloton devices seem cool but they are the kind of devices you shouldn't get if you even need to think about it.
Besides, my current 'financial status' already includes frequent walking and a pretty strict diet so I'm good to go.
I bought the bike a year ago and I love it so much. I just ordered the tread+ last week and I’m super excited to get into the running classes now.
Obsessed with tech and numbers 😂. Keep running with your friends is a real motivation
That is not what motivates you. The couches motivate you and train you with good form. Also they teach you about pacing. It’s actual training. You don’t just run for 30 min straights. It’s hills, sprints walks. Stuff like that.
2 time survivor? WOAH thats really cool!
This is the best and most honest review of the Peloton Tread I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your progress!
I’m not mad at anyone dropping 4K on something like this if you can afford it. But you pretty much have to enroll in their subscription to use the live or previously recorded classes so you’re paying forever.
I’ll just run on the free track near me which is more effective anyway since you get the forward thrust on the muscles you don’t get on the treadmill
No Peloton treadmill for me but I'm very happy and inspired that you were able to beat something twice and still be a positive person and actually doing something to help other people.
Like the Ancient One said to Doctor Strange, "It's not about you." So many people need to take that advice to Heart.
Thank you :)
Treadmill aside , I loved the way you reviewed it, you really used it, and you dedicated time and changed your routine.
thank you!
Agreed seemed like a normal persons perspective and not sponsored haha
Thank you for sharing your story. I plan to get a less expensive treadmill for walking, and hearing your story about your health, routine, increases and even falling out of routine... really help. I feel like the realistic expectations I have for myself are valid.
I got my first smartwatch, just after I got diagnosed with MS, to force to go to a gym (which I've never been to before) Now I do 2hrs every day, and that's crazy for me!! I felt motivated by the little goals it gave me :)
The best of the best way to train your physical strength especially for running.. is thru an actual roads, terrain.. hills, downhills, and so on.. FORGET ABOUT THE DISTANCES.. and set how many minutes you want to run.
The BEST way... really. Its not possible that its the way you like to do it? I would say that if you actually ran on roads you would find that running for a certain amount of minutes has you leave home and be stuck out there once you say thats enough. Set a distance run when it feels right, walk when it doesn't rinse and repeat. Eventually you will make it the entire way. Done.
@@gusbisbal9803 that could also be working, plus if we run outside especially with uncontrollable temperature.. our body will adapt to it and make us stronger.. or "weaker" that also depends on our goals of how to recovery after the train or run..
Most people don’t learn to properly run on a treadmill cause they don’t have to lean forward and ‘hop’ leg to leg since the mill moves under you. But you can sorta compensate with a hill incline setting on a treadmill to force you to lean forward into it, not the most ideal but close biomechanics as you’ll get to actual running.
Congrats on being a survivor! :) I really liked the review to, you inspired me to start running to!
Thanks so much! I really do recommend finding a friend or a cause that inspires you personally. Heck of a motivator! - Natt
The Nike Running App has come a long way and free compared with a $4500 treadmill. For the past few years I’ve always had a huge benefit from the guided coach runs that range from speed runs to long runs with Olympic gold winning athletes.
Step 1. Buy a normal treadmill = 200$
Step 2. Buy a (big) Tablet (Android or Windows 10) + Floor Stand = 300-600$
(Optional Step) Buy a Smart Swatch or Activity Tracker = 50-200$
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit at least 3500$! (4500$ - 1000$)
Plus: You can keep using the treadmill setup when the company goes out of business or stops running the service.
Natt, this was fantastic! Seriously - you weren't trying to sell the product (and that price is really off-putting) but the concept that it push you into a new lifestyle is very much a perspective they don't sell. I mean, people spend thousands on a nice bike, and hundreds on a nice pair of shoes - then don't stay motivate for one reason or another. That initial investment is definitely a driver to motivate for continued usage, but only goes so far. The COMMUNITY aspect of the Peloton products are huge - and I'd love to see a follow-up with more of that.
Seriously great real-life review.
I think the best part of their offering is the subscription service. If it let me sign up for live classes, I can see myself trying it out and maybe ending up with the service. It will be a win-win for both consumers (who can afford the actual equipment and who cant) and Peloton.
Seriously, well done.
It doesn't matter how fancy you make it, I will always hate running on treadmills. Running outside is always the way to go, I live in Montreal and I'll still run through the snow in -20°C instead of those things
Congrats on your accomplishment. It’s a big deal and I can relate to not loving to run. It sounds like the Paleton helped you get over that particular hump and progress from there.
For me, it was the Apple Watch Series 4. It helped me get motivated to go to the gym a little more often and that was all I needed to keep it going on a consistent basis. Gamification sure helps
A two-time survivor of pancreatic cancer? Wow! That's more impressive than anything else!
My first cheap polar wrist band was what changed my life and helped me do a total body transformation. Though I only needed to lose some 50 lbs. That total shift in attitude towards exercising and staying active was the result of that little tech.
good presentation not sure if a $5k machine is worth the price to learn to run? I can see adding a treadmill for speed workouts or interval training. I’m surprised that peloton didn’t take your running experience into account I would have recommended 3 days/week for first month to allow your body to adapt to running and avoid injuries like shin splints. After a month of running you add a 4th day to your routine and a 5th day in month 3. Hopefully peloton recommended stretching before/after each workout. i hope your still running with time the runners high will bite you and then your hooked!
P.S. Peloton just open on the NASDAQ $26/share.....
peloton is so cool, its such a step forward for tech and the fitness industry
So that's not an iMac stuck onto it
There something about turning outside in the open air, but hate crowded areas and feel unsafe in un crowded areas. My love affair with running 😞
Two people at work dropped €800 to get a smart static bike mount, that you add a bike too. They get a lot out of it. Personally I'm using a Withings body+ scale and steel series HR watch. Better than the Fitbit charge 3 IMO and undercounts, which forces you to walk more. I prefer their version of sleep gamification. There is a 5K going in Frankfurt, but I get 8-9k a day so I figure I don't need it. I do my steps throughout the day. Force myself to stride,. Gets your heart up to speed quickly, I get an hour or more per day of intense exercise that way and 4-5 hours of moderate exercise.
Most important tool for me when I started running was simply keeping "scores". Follow a running program and then jotting down all the milages and times is a great way to see the progress and appreciate your own increasing performance. These days I more or less just use a Fitbit for my running and (important) some quality running shoes that was hand-picked for me in a runners store according to my running style.
Great review thank you! can you just hop on the Tred and do your own run with your own music?
I’ve heard about Peloton so much that I want it just to have it. But can’t just because I don’t want it.
Inspiring review... congratulations on the run. I so want one.
Nice review. The social aspect of the Peleton is nice. Apples activity app also has such a competitive feature. But among friend contacts. But I’m curious. Isn’t it better to join a gym or run in an open space for a start.
Why is it ridiculous having a treadmill in your bedroom? I don't get it.
Good job, Natt! Starting and maintaining is the hardest part about any workout regimen.
Damn two-time survivor?! Straight up unkillable.
Congrats on your 5K Natt!
Interesting concept. It could make sense when you live in a country with a bad weather all the time and are looking for motivation. Otherwise just spend like 1% of the price and join a club/community and have real human interactions. I met a lot of people that way and made real bounds. It's much better than interacting with people who don't even know you exist, and it's much harder to quit because you don't want to let the others down.
Yeah, but what about winter. Also some ppl don’t like running with other ppl. I’m not a shy person, but I like running on my own a lot better
The thing that got me into running is using audio coach while I was running either outdoor or indoor. It made a huge change.
I’m inspired! I really want the Pelaton. I just don’t know if it will be too loud for my neighbors and also the space. The bedroom is also the only place I can put the Pelaton Tread. Has anyone put a treadmill in the bedroom before? How is it? Does your room smell?
They call it training for a 5K because it costs $5K
"Peloton" is Finnish and means "fearless". I agree that you have to have a lot of courage to invest 5000$ to a treadmill. I think I'm going to go running outside since it's summer at its fullest.
Looks neat, congrats on the 5k! So you’re not keeping the Peloton?
This was a review unit we were supplied with, but if I had the option to keep it, I would probably still prefer the digital classes to take outside or to a more affordable gym. - Natt
does it have a fan?
Congrats Natt. As for me, I just got a Garmin fenix. For me, that is motivation enough. :)
I hope my gym gets these. Even though I prefer running outside, weather or city fumes can disincentivise the outdoor exertion when health is the goal.
This kind of tread is so much better on the knees and they usually get up to proper speeds. Most people are complacent enough to not even try sprinting on a treadmill - ca 30kmh; 18.75mph - but plenty of equipment can barely even handle a brisk run - 19kmh; 11.9mph - from an 80kg;176lbs guy without „fading“. I.e. inconsistent speeds from microslowing because it can’t handle the impact, leading to a jittery, dangerous run.
Y’all got any info on that?
30kph = 100m in 12s. This is dangerous for a treadmill. Also if you could do 30kph for 45s, you’d be at the olympics. If you could do it for 2mins you’d be a world record holder.
Tony Bell
It’s dangerous on treadmills that aren’t up to the task. Premium ones with a focus on performance do this easily. Athletic republic released one in 2012 that could handle 28mph. Since we’re already on TH-cam you can look it up.
Most people who regularly train can hit 30kph, so it’s definitely relevant if I’m to spend multiple k$, since I won’t buy two.
@@Sheeshening - that's insane. 28mph is faster than Usain Bolt ran when he set the world record. What's the point?
Tony Bell
Your confusion stems only from your continuous movement of the goal post.
Without getting too condescending, saying a pro mill doesn’t have to get to 30 kph because the fastest man alive peaked at 44,7 kph *against air resistance* in a 100m race seems futile enough.
Reconsidering that with every incremental reduction in speed the amount of people able to reach these performance levels increases exponentially makes it seems pretty absurd.
Every nfl pro, every baseball pro, every soccer pro, every ncaa runner, every college pro, every bro athlete can run this fast.
There’s a vid of some quarterback running 25mph in a tv show. Tons of sports require training in intense maximum performance dashes for just a few seconds.
Clearly if they are asking enthusiast level money, they should deliver what virtually all pros can/have to do. It’s either possible or not viable.
I will be getting one this year. I lover to run outdoors but the summers here are brutal.
I wouldn't pay for that, I dont have that sorta money lying around, it's cheaper to just run outside
it's cheaper to eat cheetos than sirloin steak
Cheaper? More like is free to run outside
Lol 😂
Outside you gotta dodge the incoming.
👁️🐝 🏃♀️👈 👐ỤỤ 🏃♀️🏃♂️ 👟🤕 🕺🏃♀️☄️
@@LowLightVideos that last one though XD
Interesting and cool review. But the price is insane. I could just run outside in the great outdoors, but the great thing about a treadmill is that you can catch up with some TV at the same time... And for some reason that appeals.
That said I wouldn't pay that much money, and I'm really surprised you didn't bring up the price as a factor. Or compare it against other treadmills.
Your story is so uplifting. God bless you!!
🙏
If you see me running, someone is chasing me. 🤷🏽♂️
straight out of black mirror
Go outside - it is free and real!
What about weather, traffic depending where you live, terrain around you
it gets really boring so fast doing run at the same route.
Smileyfaceanimations ahahhahahahahhahhahahahhhahahhaha you lazy Americans, so sensitive of some water droplets, or the joy of clean air and new routes.
It's not that real if you're dissociating!
GLR lol I read your comment in Russian accents
Finally a fitness instructor I can connect with
I'm guessing you had your Tread set up in an NYC apartment? Any comments on the volume level of the device?
Great review of Peloton tread. I found it thorough and personal at the same time. Thanks.
PS: good work in accomplishing your training goal!
For me running has to be outside. I had running inside. But that is just me.
I love her, the Verge. she's real and relatable, unlike this thing , which is just run-of-the mill without it's fancy screen, but it did help her achieve her goal... so.. but the price, its just out of reach for a lot of us.
For me it was iPod, Nike watch, iPhone/Apple watch that keeps me motivated.
God Bless you survivor!
You survived pancreatic cancer?! Whoa. You should go to Vegas because that is super lucky.
hahaha been to Vegas many times, not sure the luck extended there.
If $4k means very little to you, it's probably a fun gadget. But it costs $0 to go run outside, track time and distance on a free app and listen to spotify, podcasts or whatever on a music player.
Would you pay $4,000 for a Peloton Tread?
Jeez no seems like a well built treadmill but the added extras can't be that expensive to implement
The Verge As a multiple marathon runner: No way 😂 Get out and enjoin nature!
No. 😑
Nope, it might fit to the gym more than home use. But, the training videos are really dope.
That's more than my rent 😶
Do they charge a monthly fee in addition to the cost of the device?
Keila yes $39 but I have the bike and it’s the best thing ever!
Rose Natasha thanks for the feedback 🙂
Congrats! Do Tabata to boost your aerobic and anaerobic capacity. You'll go even longer.
Noted!
I used to run outside few times a week but since moving to Australia and living in a big city it’s been challenging. Runners and cyclists also age bit quicker so I prefer other forms of cardio, that’s gentler on my joints
What forms out of interest?
Kael Tabata or HIIT
It's an interesting product but definitely one built for luxury. I see who could use these but it's not in my wheelhouse.
The Nike run app helped me immensely. Will be running first 10 k April.
I have Mi band 2 to keep up with my walking habit and challenges.
PLus the other thing to realize that makes running on a treadmill so much easier, aside from not actually pushing so hard to go an actual distance, theres no rocky or hard concrete terrain, and the ai is usually very mild since treadmills are almost entirely used in doors( cause if your outdoor,s why not just run outdoors then?). So sure, I could run at full setting on a treadmill for over 2 hours, but actual running on the street in the cold or heat? 2 min lol.
These are the types of videos I like to see
Great job but this product without live stream being main focus seems pointless to me for 5gs. Nice edit and review though!!
If it was $2000-$2500 it would be a hit product but double that price makes it a silly enthusiast only product. You would have to be running multiple times a day to make that worth it.
Are they going to let you watch your TH-cam videos or no? If it is only subscription based treadmill then it is better to to gym
Congrats on finishing!! While the Peloton looks really cool I just can't see spending $4,500 for something I can do for free with just a bit more motivation and self-discipline. Then again maybe spending that much money will force you to use it early and often but, again, I'm sure you can achieve the same effect without spending that amount of money.
I could see starting with the $20 digital membership to see how that works.
I agree, definitely start with lower stakes investments like that before deciding to splurge. If discipline is all you need, the classes might be enough (or do what I did and find an important cause to motivate you!) Good luck! - Natt
I love the gamification element of it! But that price is insane. I have a really good elliptical which “only” cost €1000. I’m thinking about attaching my old iMac to it somehow, though, because I really love that - it won’t get me gamification, but Netflix is not so bad, either. ;) Gamification is done on my Apple Watch anyway.
I should start running
The verge does infomercials now!
It legit reminds me of that black mirror episode, wasn’t it ‘million merits’?! 🤯
so i have to pay to use my own treadmill which i own
It's not hard to understand paying for a service. You're paying a cellphone bill for a phone you already paid for no? Simple
@@ClaxtonBay123 But you only pay for the classes, right? Everything else works even without subscription?
@@imnotbreno Yea it's a $4000 treadmill that works like a normal treadmill
@@ClaxtonBay123 That's actually not true. For example, basic functions like seeing your heart rate do NOT function unless you subscribe to the service. This is NOT a normal treadmill with an optional subscription. Without the subscription, the device is worse than a normal treadmill.
Exactly. So lame. I hate this company from the bottom of my heart.
Great work Natt.
positive vibs from this video!
Omg you survived pancreatic cancer.... twice
I would personally be interested in VR tracks of actual picturesque locations that you could run alongside others subscribed to that same location and eventually schedule a meetup IRL to actually so that run together as a way to cap off that location and move on the the next social experience.
Any treadmill is a treadmill. It's just like telling people the books to read to make a distinction. Any treadmill will do as long as you can put the effort
Damn that's crazy to me that people in their 20s or 30s are proud of doing a 5k.
