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.

Endurance SuperStar Treadmill + Incline
Weng Seng (Sydney, AU)
Affordable basic treadmill

I think think this is a reasonable priced treadmill. I have been using it for a few months and it meets my needs. The treadmill is not very noisy even at the higher speeds and moving it around was not difficult.

I was hesitant about having to set it up on my own, but it turned out to be very easy. I would recommend this treadmill to people looking for a good basic treadmill.

The one small change that I would have liked would have been a small ledge to rest a tablet for watching youtube videos.

Endurance SuperStar Treadmill + Incline
Leisa Goatcher (Sydney, AU)
Terrific Treadmill

I recently purchased a Superstar treadmill to replace my old treadmill that stopped working. The whole process was seamless from the support I received deciding on my purchase, to delivery and answering any questions I had setting it up.
The treadmill itself is really easy to use and runs well. The app is great, I have been exploring the many work out options available and it is a real motivator on the fitness journey. Thank you for such a great experience purchasing and for a great product.

Endurance Marathon Treadmill
PB (Bangkok, TH)
Endurance Athlete Treadmill

I recently came across Endurance Treadmills during their Easter special promotion. After going through many genuine customer reviews, I decided to purchase the Marathon Treadmill. A day after placing my order, I received a call informing me that the Marathon model had sold out. However, they kindly offered me the Athlete model at no extra cost — a gesture I truly appreciated. After using the Athlete Treadmill for a few weeks now, I can confidently say that I am very happy with my purchase. Setup was incredibly straightforward — simply unbox, unfold, and secure with just two screws, and it’s ready to go. The machine itself has a compact size that fits well in my space, yet the running belt is generously wide and long, offering a comfortable experience. The motor runs very quietly, making it perfect for home use. The phone and tablet holder is a handy addition, though I do wish it could accommodate larger tablets like the iPad Pro. The console is easy to use, with a responsive touchscreen, and I particularly like that I can download the app to synchronize my workouts with my Apple Watch — a great feature for tracking progress. Overall, the Endurance Athlete Treadmill has exceeded my expectations, both in terms of build quality and user experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional-grade treadmill for home use!
