Treadmill cheat sheet – speed conversions, pace times and target distances table

When weather conditions are unsafe in the winter months, I often do my running on a treadmill at the Gym, treadmill running is an odd alternative, but there are a few things you need to know. If you’re running at speeds under 9 miles an hour (a very fast 6:40-minute-mile pace), treadmill running burns about the same calories as outdoors.

But if you run faster than nine mph, you’ll burn fewer calories on the treadmill. That’s because you don’t have to overcome wind resistance, and the treadmill belt propels you along a bit. So for the average runner treadmill is a great alternative. So if you can not get out a run, jump on the treadmill and go, here is a speed conversion, pace times and target distances table to set that treadmill correctly for your level.

    If it is inconvenient to count in miles, then you can convert to kilometers http://howmanyconvert.com/convert-miles-to-kilometers

      Each person is unique, and what pulse we have at different activities and your fitness level. At 64, a year younger than me, at a treadmill speed of 7.2 km per hour, I would have a pulse of about 90. It may be different for you and your fitness level. Your max pulse gets a bit lower with age.
