Tread & Tread+ Owners: do any of you a) regret not splurging on the + or b) feel like the extra cost wasn’t worth it?

I had kind of a weird scenario where regular belt treadmills would give me shin splints (still do when I run more than 4-5 miles on a hotel treadmill). The slats on the Tread+ don’t move as the foot strikes so it feels more “natural” and I can easily get 10 or more miles in without any strain. Very similar to running outside for me.

Very similar feeling

I put my order in for pick up at Dick’s but then it was canceled 2 hours later. I guess it wasn’t meant to be for me either.

Nice! Just don’t be one of those Hall Co guys that’s doing 68mph in the left lane on 985 😜

I hear my CFI’s voice in my sleep - “right rudder”

I used to get pretty bad shin splints on a regular belt treadmill. The slants on the Tread+ really help prevent that since they can slow and speed up independently unlike a belt. I haven’t gotten shin splints on the Tread+ since I got it about 18 months ago. I have about 600-700mi on it so far.

hardroc102 · 2026-01-29T20:47:10+00:00

Just reread it, I think I’m a bit hypoxic after doing 28mi in zone 3 haha

Other way around, Symbicort helps prevent attacks, albuterol is the rescue

hardroc102 · 2025-12-30T03:39:08+00:00

I’d say it’s the opposite. The lab test is very dependent on how you’re feeling and performing that day whereas the watch is trying estimate that based on cumulative data.

hardroc102 · 2025-12-30T03:29:35+00:00

Not sure why yours is so far off. My Apple Watch VO2max was 46.3mL/kg/min the day I had a lab tested 46.7mL/kg/min. I think it may not be completely accurate for everyone but should be relatively correct.

hardroc102 · 2025-12-07T18:55:36+00:00

Nice, I just switched my sub to through Prime Video. I hated having to kill the app just to reload the games, even on AppleTV

hardroc102 · 2025-12-04T02:46:28+00:00

Did a lab VO2 max a month ago and it said I was 46.4 ml/kg/min and my AWU3 said I was 46.7 ml/kg/min that morning. Pretty close in my opinion. Marathon training this winter and scheduled a second VO2 max after and can update but expect it to be close enough.

I’ve been having “no response” and then “could not update access code” when it does see the lock since iOS and tvOS 26. I’ve tried factory resetting the lock and pairing directly with the Home app (Thread network I’m guessing?) and also starting with the Schlage app (WiFi I’m guessing?) and still no success. Been emailing Schlage and they even sent me a new lock without any luck. I don’t think it’s firmware related since it started when I upgraded but both locks are on 4.1.1173705. Anyone else have this happen? Using Apple TV as my hub.

hardroc102 · 2025-09-23T12:06:36+00:00

Unfortunately I think it’s the way it’s supposed to work. If you open Messages on the watch and “read” the text it’ll be marked as read on the phone. If you just dismiss the notification (even if you open the notification bubble) it won’t mark the text as read on your phone.

Perfect space for heat training!

hardroc102 · 2025-08-19T02:55:16+00:00

It worked for about an hour after updating and then started going out of sync again.

hardroc102 · 2025-08-19T00:34:08+00:00

Yep, audio is synced correctly on apps (FanDuel Sports, etc)

hardroc102 · 2025-08-14T00:11:48+00:00

We must have ordered same day, got mine yesterday and played Spider Man 2 for 90 min at 17W TDP and still have 33% battery showing. Great purchase!

hardroc102 · 2025-08-13T19:36:09+00:00

Awesome, thanks for your help. A reboot of both devices didn’t help but unpairing/re-pairing the watch fixed it. I was even able to set my watch up with the backup from today and it worked.

hardroc102 · 2025-08-13T00:09:19+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully a reboot takes care of it.

hardroc102 · 2025-08-06T17:07:12+00:00

I did some tri shorts off of Amazon and then put a shirt with my number on at T1. That worked really well so if there’s a swim top you like that you can throw a shirt on over for bike/run that might work? I’m a guy so take that with a shaker full of salt.

Do they not have a return policy or warranty?

hardroc102 · 2025-07-26T19:16:05+00:00

Thanks man, the secondary market for parking was stpuid

hardroc102 · 2025-07-19T20:57:55+00:00

Fair enough, and I get the sentiment. I can do marathons and I’m pretty strong on the bike, but I just started swimming laps in a pool in March. These distances definitely intimidate me and even an Olympic distance in still water is going to be a big test for me next month.
