But most runners will find better value in cheaper treadmills.

Its very expensive, even compared to treadmills like thePeloton Tread.

This is another feature designed to replicate outdoor running, where youre rarely landing on perfectly level surfaces.

This RunFree mode is the star feature on the treadmill.

When engaged, you’re free to change the speed of the belt without using any controls.

Start running faster and as you move forward the belt will speed up.

Slow down and move back and the belt slows down.

It will connect to pretty much every app out there, fortunately.

I had high expectations of the RunFree mode going in, and the experience surpassed them.

The fast speed changes in this RunFree mode mean that the KICKR RUN is great for intervals.

Using the RunFree mode also means you stay more engaged when trying to hold a fast pace.

The experience is also great at easy paces.

During the hour, I connected the KICKR RUN to both the Wahoo app and Zwift.
