Kettler Marathon ST Treadmill

Being a long distance runner, I try to mix my runs between road, cross country, and treadmills. This keeps workouts varied, stops boredom, and means I can train whatever the weather.

I would recommend a treadmill to anyone with any fitness level. They provide a year-round source of exercise and with the latest technology you can easily monitor your progress, whatever your goals.

I recently had the good fortune to try out the Kettler Marathon ST treadmill. I often compare Kettler to Audi, as both focus on quality as well as design. This treadmill follows the Kettler principles to the letter.

During my test, what impressed me the most was the platform itself. It was very well damped and even though it was only a short race, I can see that using the Marathon ST will be much better for your joints than running on the road.

I’m quite a fan of good old hand control, but a quick game with the built-in programs has converted me to them. The programs themselves work at speed or incline intervals or goals that you set yourself. A good example would be the calorie target program that allows you to run out of your morning Mars bar (took me less than half an hour!)

I put on the chest belt and really enjoyed the heart rate controlled program. Throughout the race, the LCD screen kept me updated as I got closer to my goals.

The key features of the Kettler Marathon ST are:

• 1.8 HP continuous duty motor
• 6 fixed programs or full manual control
• Integrated Polar chest belt receiver with 1 heart rate controlled program
• Backlit blue LCD display
• Running area: 132 x 48 cm
• Speed ​​1-16 km/h / 0-10 mph
• Incline 0-12%
• Maximum user weight of 120 kg / 18 stones
• 3 year warranty covering parts and labor

Due to its excellent build quality and features, I would recommend the Kettler Marathon ST for:

• Beginners who want a machine that will stand up to them as they improve
• Club runners due to their heavy-duty construction.
• Those who enjoy running but want to take better care of their joints.

With a machine of this calibre, you would expect excellent after-sales service, and Kettler hasn’t let you down. The Marathon ST comes with a full 3-year warranty that covers parts and labor in case something goes wrong.
