I know the distance reading on treadmills is supposed to be pretty accurate so I'm not necessarily questioning that but I am wondering why I'm finding it so much harder and slower to run on it. I had the speed set between ~5 - 6 mph, and naturally didn't make it too far. I felt like I was forced to run a LOT faster than I am when I'm out on the road, and I was having a hard time keeping up. And still, that's only a 10 minute mile. That's not super fast. I calculated that that's about what I was averaging out on the road, though, and I very rarely feel like I'm running anywhere near as fast as what I'm forced to on the treadmill. And yet I'm running 4 miles in about 40 minutes. I think it'd be a lot slower if I did that on a treadmill.
