How much harder is running compared to the elliptical trainer? I’ve started using it on cardio mode and will want to eventually do running instead.

    Hello! Elliptical training is a lot less impact on the knees, that’s for sure. Running, however, is a great exercise mode. I would suggest switching back and forth from one to the other to avoid injuries down the line.
