Treadmill Conversion Chart


Have you ever wondered how fast you're running on the treadmill? The treadmill typically shows your MPH, but it doesn't convert Pace (well, some newer treadmills may, but not mine!)

Anyhow, I typically run a comfortable 8.0 MPH on the treadmill, and I was curious about my pace? According to the chart below, I'm running a 7:30 mile (you may need to adjust depending on incline).

Pretty handy chart. Hope it helps you too!


Oh one more thing... they say that in order to "mimic" outdoor running, use the 1% incline (at least). Otherwise, it's like you're running on a downward slope. Say it ain't so..
