Treadmill Step Change

Former Member over 7 years ago

Recently when doing a treadmill session the watch asked for my treadmill distance after I was done. I assume that was to gauge accuracy. Since then, when I walk on the treadmill the 5X puts mile mileage too high and when I run it short changes me.

I've tried finding the solution on here and via Google, but don't know if I'm not searching right or if it's not out there. Is there a way to change that setting and enter it again after I run? I no longer walk on the treadmill and only run, and when I get to a 5k distance it's already .25 miles short of the distance the treadmill puts me at. (Yes I realize I can edit my run after the fact, was hoping to avoid it).

Thanks in advance.

I'm hoping to get an answer to this as well. The Calibrate and Save option only came upon after my first treadmill run, and I can no longer find the option to do this anywhere.

Hello, you have to run more than a mile (or 1.7 km). Then the Calibarte and save-option will be available.

Hi, I run more than 3 miles everytime and it does not come up again. Any other thoughts?

I am not using this calibration, but what I understood:

- it pops up the first time
- subsequent treadmill activities have the option to calibrate and save when you stop a tread mill workout. You have to scroll down to this option ("Save", "Cancel", "Resume later", ...).

Yep...its there for me every time. Because a treadmill loses accuracy over time, and additionally is not very accurate to start, you can continue to calibrate your runs to match. The 5x uses your outdoor runs to calibrate against your normal footpace, gait, etc., which generally makes the watch and the treadmill results different.

Thanks all, that does the trick. It is re-calibrated now. :)
