10km Running Program- 8 week program designed by sean williams

This program has been designed by Sean Williams- a highly experienced fulltime running coach. He has coached runners of all ages and ability levels for 20 years.  Sean has been an Australian team coach at the senior level in recent years at World Athletics Championships, World Cross Country Championships and International Ekiden relays. Three of his athletes competed in the 2014 Commonwealth Games- Harry Summers, Ben St Lawrence and Victoria Mitchell- with Ben and Victoria also being Olympians. Others to make World championships at the senior level in recent years have been Lara Tamsett and Jane Fardell. Sean has produced multiple Australian reps in the World Junior (u/20), World Youth, Olympic Youth and Commonwealth Youth (u/18) Championships.

In 2016 three athletes that have been a big part of Sean Williams’ coaching history competed in the Rio Olympics. Ben St Lawrence, still coached by Sean, lined up in the 10000m final. Victoria Mitchell, coached by Sean from 2012- 2015 achieved her only two qualifying times for Rio under Sean’s coaching. Victoria raced in the 3000m Steeplechase qualifying round in Rio. Selma Kajan was coached by Sean for close to a decade, winning many national titles and racing for Australia at the junior international level. Selma lined up in the 800m qualifying round in Rio.

Excellent Treadmill Experience – Great Value for Money

I had a fantastic experience purchasing this treadmill. The sales team was extremely patient and provided thorough explanations to help me choose the right model. Delivery was fast and the packaging was secure—everything arrived in perfect condition. The treadmill itself feels safe, sturdy, and easy to use. It’s also stylish and runs smoothly. For the price, the quality is outstanding—truly great value for money. After-sales service has been very helpful and responsive as well. Overall, I’m very satisfied and highly recommend it!

Endurance SPT 1 year ownership review

This review is for the Endurance SPT after 1 year of ownership.

I'll start by saying the online support prior to delivery was excellent. Our treadmill was purchased just prior to Christmas 2023 whilst on sale through Endurance's official Amazon shop. We were departing for holidays within a few days and were in the predicament of possibly having the treadmill delivered whilst being away. We reached out and their support was very good and responsive, and were able to organise from memory a next day delivery (we live in Sydney).

The treadmill is a medium size and weight, giving it a solid enough feel in build quality and stability, however remaining light enough to be easily moved around by myself or wife if needed. As other reviews may have mentioned, set up may be quite difficult if done alone, however instructions and steps are itself easy.

Here are my likes, dislikes, and observations from the last year of ownership.

Likes:
User interface - simple as a treadmill should be with large buttons as well as controls on the handles
Running belt - made of a hard-wearing plastic material which provides plenty of grip however also won't cause friction burns on intermittent skin contact (safer with children)
Form factor - Being able to fold up the treadmill and move it around the house is great
Speed and incline options - More than enough settings for 99% of the population
Finish - The materials used and the coatings on the frame are good quality and show almost no wear from a year of use

Dislikes:
Heartrate sensors - Located on the handles, these sensors are probably only for those continuously walking. They take too long to establish a reading (e.g. walking after conducting a run)
Lack of waterproofing - This may sound silly, however I myself generate a lot of sweat during a run, and there are a couple vulnerable points on the treadmill where water/sweat may ingress. These include the speed/incline adjustment buttons on the handles, the usb port, and the speakers. This vulnerability is serious enough that even after a wipe down after every use, I have had an instance where the treadmill was unable to turn on for multiple days in a row due to this. To combat this I now have to drape a towel over the whole upper section of the treadmill when in use by myself.

Other observations:
Size of the track - I am 175cm tall and find the track a perfectly adequate size for running. I would still say the track size does initially take getting used to and you will find yourself consciously aware of the sides and end of the track, however this is no longer a factor.
Somewhat limited quick-select speeds - I think more space on the interface should be dedicated to adjusting the speed and less controlling the incline. Quick-select buttons on the screen interface only go up in speeds of 2km/h up to 10km/h which can mean constantly holding down the increase button for a short while if you want to run at speeds greater than 10km/h (only increases in increments of 0.1km/h per press).
Pricing - I think at the time whilst on sale, this treadmill was a very good purchase and great value, however whilst writing this review there are currently some other comparable treadmills which I would say are very competitively priced.
