I used the treads in goodlife at a similar setting but it isn’t a good treadmill to run. But depending on which Y you go to, you could run in the tiny track.

I am also an OTFer. I was never a great runner (distance wise) and would often get shin splints when training. Since joining OTF I never get shin splints and my speed and distance have vastly increased. Most of this is due to how great their treadmills are. I went and ran the Sun Run (10 km) and the next day I thought I’d never walk again. The road is so much harder than those treads. It wasn’t the time (49:04) as I regularly cycle 4-6 hours in a day. Those treads are the best.
Tomorrow is a 23 minute run for distance at OTF. I did the 3.1 mile run for the DriTri in 22:30 so I’m hoping for to hit 3.3+ miles tomorrow.
