Running on a treadmill is sometimes hard, watching TV or listening to an iPod can drain your spirits. Not to mention they are not accurate, close but not accurate. So let me explain, they are accurate for the calibration that is set at the factory, meaning the tread goes around so many time at x miles and hour and you get how fast you ran. Well that is all good if you are the one that set the machine, what if you have long legs, I have found that treadmills for myself are off about 1-2 tenths a mile vs. a Polar foot pod, that was calibrated on a track.
So be careful and every once in a while during the winter get out and test the theory. You might be shocked.
