Treadmills and apps!

I'd like to buy a treadmill that can use a C25K app. I have no idea where to start with this, can anyone give me some guidance? How do you know which treadmill can use which app? Does anyone else do this, and can tell me which app is best?

Can't do real C25K as the hills around here are insane, so I would like to do it on a treadmill.

All motorised treadmills will have adjustable speed, so you don't need one with a specific couch 2 5k programme on it. Find a treadmill within your price range then download the NHS C25k app. Good luck...I do a mix of outdoor and treadmill running and enjoy them both!

I did c25k on a treadmill in the gym, and I'm doing c210k at home with a treadmill. The app I use doesn't sync the distance I've run but it doesn't need too.
Get a treadmill you can afford, download app you like, and start 👍

Thank you both! how do I know which treadmills are compatible with which app? Do they just need to have bluetooth?

They don't need to be compatible with an app. You put the treadmill on walking speed, Starr the app and follow instructions. So when it says jog just increase the speed of the treadmill manually

As others have said you don’t need it to be compatible with any apps - I don’t even think that’s even a thing! The app (any couch to 5k app, the nhs one is good) tells you when you walk and run and you just increase the speed yourself on the treadmill. I’ve been doing it on the treadmill, it’s really good.

Do you mean play the app through the treadmill itself? You can just put the app on your phone and use wireless headphones to listen to it whilst you run, that’s what I do.
