Question Description:
I just bought a treadmill, I have the Nike I-pod shoe kit and when I run outside I can do a 7:50 mile [I’m not a great runner] but when I ran on the treadmill my I-pod said I ran .50 miles in 11 min I was exhausted does the I-pod chip work on a treadmill??also do you have to oil a brand new electric treadmill?? If so what’s a good oil?doh, I had the thing on a full incline so I as running uphill. laid it flat I-pod is a little off but good. thanks for the answers

Answer#1: It could be a problem with the calibration. Try thisFind a track or route where you know the exact distance (If you’re a long-distance runner, it should be no less than a mile). Turn on your iPod and navigate to Nike+iPod>Settings>Sensor>CalibrateRead the instructions and then choose “walk” or “run”Then choose “400 meters” or “custom”If you choose “custom” enter the distance of your track or route.Next, select your music. The voice will tell you to press the center button to start calibration.Start running.At the end of your route, press the center button again. Then press “menu” to finish calibration.


Answer#2: People run/walk differently on a treadmill than on the ground so it may be reading different. I would go by what the display on your treadmill says.
