Just the question you may be asking is…what is the footstep per mile? That is how most people measure pace (speed) when considering jogging, running, or HIIT cardio.

In other words, you know your favorite jogging speed on the treadmill is 6.0 (which is 6 mph). Merely what does this convert to in pace per mile? And pace per mile is simply how many minutes it takes to jog, walk, or run 1 mile.

At a treadmill speed of half dozen.0, am I running 6 minute miles? Or 10 minute miles? Or 15 minute miles? What should exist my speed when doing HIIT on a treadmill?

To convert that mph to pace per mile….

Have the treadmill speed, and divide into sixty. And that is your pace per mile.

Example 1

So if your treadmill speed setting is 6.0 (half-dozen mph)…

60÷ 6.0 = 10 minute miles

In other words, at a treadmill speed setting of 6.0, you volition jog one mile in 10 minutes.

Example 2

At a treadmill speed of 10.0…

lx ÷ 10.0 = 6 infinitesimal miles

So at a treadmill speed setting of 10.0 (x mph), yous will jog one mile in vi minutes.

Instance iii

At a treadmill speed of three.0…

60÷ 3 = 20 minute miles

So at a treadmill speed setting of iii.0 (3 mph), you volition walk ane mile in twenty minutes.

If yous know the pace per mile y'all are afterwards, then just do the same math, but in reverse.

So if you lot desire to run at viii min/mile footstep, what is the correct treadmill speed?

60÷ 8 = 7.5 mph (Treadmill Speed)

If yous're a serious runner and want to run at a half-dozen min/mil eastward pace, what is the treadmill speed?

60 ÷ 6 = 10.0 mph (Treadmill Speed)
