Amby,

I haven’t tried either – my desk is unfortunately a WWII model hunk of solid
oak I think, so raising it up would be a challenge! Good to hear the the RW
staff are setting a good example for the rest of us!

I think that’s a good first step. About one-third of the Runner’s World edit staff are standers, and I’m rapidly moving in that direction. A few at RW also sit on a ball, but I have noted that they don’t continue this practice regularly, as the standers do. I got to test the really expensive treadmill desk a year ago, and it’s quite fantastic–very smooth, and adjustable. The treadmill console has controls to raise and lower the desk height, along with changing treadmill walk speed. Walking at 1-2mph is easy of course, but still a little disorienting. It definitely took some getting used to. Amby Burfoot, Runner’s World
