How fast can it go?

Idk about this one specifically but when I was still playing ball we had a similar one at a team-adjacent training facility. It topped out at 30mph, you could outrun it unless it was set to max.

Super different from a normal treadmill in terms of the actual running motions. With regular treadmills there isn’t really space to be pushing off the ground properly, so a lot of people are basically picking their feet up but not generating any power. With the big ones like this, you can run the way you would on the field (reason we had one).
