picked up a proform 990 treadmill for christmas.. 3-4% incline, 3.4 mph is my comfortable pace for 40 minutes
tried a burst, 12% incline at 10mph.. can sustain that for a bit, but mostly worried about making one wrong step and smacking into the wall behind me :) Maybe I'll try the full 12mph tomorrow :)
Oh, and no post is complete without geekery.. plugged the kill-a-watt into the treadmil.. at 3% incline, 3.4 mph, i'm drawing around 170 watts.. depends on where in the stride i am.. as you pull against the machine the load goes down to about 140, as it moves you along it goes up to about 180... far less than i thought it'd be for a 3 "CHP" motor. marketing bullshit again? :)
