RUNNERS USE TREADMILL AS TRAINING TRACK
A one-man training track for runners is part of the equipment recently installed by an English sporting club. The device consists of a small treadmill platform with an upright pipe frame in front.

Because of its construction, the treadmill enables runners to work in a small room.
