  • My eldest wants to do some running as her exercise for her Silver DofE award. She doesn't want to run outside in the dark, so has asked for a treadmill. I'm loathe to spend a lot of money on one, as it'll likely barely be used once she's completed her exercise task.

    I've never used one, so I've no idea what to look for, other than it would be good if it was foldable and needs to have some way of recording duration and distance.

    Any recommendations from the hive mind?

  • A treadmill would be a great way of putting someone off running. A thoroughly miserable experience.

    If nothing else will do, what about a gym membership? There might be cheap memberships for students / under 18s, plus there is other stuff to do there for cross training
