Angry treadmill on strike...

My Startrack treadmill had decided to take a Christmas holiday and despite going through the motions of flashing lights and encouraging noises it refuses to move and then claims to have no RPMs. I can't live without it, can anyone help me please?

What about going out and braving the weather? (and getting the treadmill fixed in the meantime)

Give it a good kick

Seriously though, run outside in the meantime, it's sooooooo much better in my opinion. Check out the instruction manual, usually you can find a trouble shooting section in the back which may be of some help. Personally I'd start taking it apart to see what's wrong, but I guess that depends on how confident you feel doing that kinda thing?!

Can't fix your treadmill, but could you please tell me how to run on one. I love running and can run for hours (lots of them) outside, but struggle to stay on a treadmill for more than ten minutes. I get so, so bored and give up.

I used to occassionally have to look after the children when my wife was working, on those occassions I set up my bike on the turbo trainer in the kitchen and cycled like mad.

Fortunately my children are 11 and 16 now so those sorts of problems do not arise so much now.
