Treadmill Run: Inaccurate 3 minute/mile pace!

Former Member over 4 years ago

I logged a treadmill run this morning and everything was fine till near the end when the watch suddenly began showing that I was running 3:20/mile instead of about a 9:00/mile that I was actually running. Any idea how/why this might have happened?

Details:

I was wearing the Fenix 5x watch on my wrist, and also wearing a foot pod and chest strap HRM.

I've done a number of treadmill runs, and never had anything like this happen.

Watch also logged almost one mile more than I actually ran.

Hard to say but I would suspect firstly that it is not the watch but the footpod, especially as you have not had the issue before. The Footpod could be low on power or messing up - alternative is the footpod is dropping out and the watch taking over but the calibration is way off. Try it with just the watch and see what happens.

Good ideas, I'll check on those!
