This is exactly what my apartment building has. I'm the only one that uses it, so that's a plus. I've been doing sets of 2000 meters and trying to best my time with each set (while maintaining technique of course). As it's the apartment building's machine, I can't upgrade it.

Yeah, but you don't necessarily need to.

Something to keep in mind - if it's got the old-style computer you can't really measure your technique as well... and that if you're looking for cardio of any kind, 2000m isn't quite enough to do it. Slow and steady is a lot better, which you'll discover if you throw on a heart rate monitor.
