Winter running hits different in Michigan—one day you’re “getting it done,” the next you’re sliding around wondering why you even left the house. 😅

In this episode of the I Don’t Know Running Podcast, Lewis and Mitch get into a super practical (and slightly ranty) conversation about treadmills:

Why so many treadmills turn into $2,000 clothes hangers

The real reason specs matter: body weight, impact, and durability

What “CHP” (continuous horsepower) actually means for runners

Used vs. new: when Marketplace is a steal… and when it’s a headache

Thoughts on popular picks like the Sole F80, NordicTrack 1750/2450, 3G Cardio, Landice, and why Life Fitness keeps showing up in gyms

Why subscriptions and fancy screens can turn your treadmill into an “expensive brick”

And a quick detour into curved/manual treadmills (Woodway style)—cool, brutal, and not cheap

If you’re trying to stay healthy, avoid winter wipeouts, and actually build fitness without beating yourself up on bad footing, this one’s for you.
