How do you calculate the miles you run?

Question

ok well i have no clue which tells you how much miles you are running... can someone tell me where it says how many you make? im quite clueless but curious of how much i do....

i mean on a treadmill? is it distance? and whats the number for a mile? o.0

Answer 1

Treadmills can vary a bit, but yes, "distance" is probably where you should be looking.

Do beware if it's displaying in miles or kilometers. 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers.

Your individual speed can vary of course, but the average person "jogging" on a treadmill should cover 1 mile every 8-11 minutes. Hopefully that helps you ensure you're looking at the right thing. It will probably increase in tenths of a mile, too. (0.1 -> 0.2 -> 0.3, etc.)

Answer 2

One mile is 5,280 feet. 5,280 feet is 63,360 inches. Those are the numbers for a mile.

If you haven't spent at least 8-15 minutes jogging/walking, then you definitely have not reached a mile.

Answer 3

well dude, there are some mobiles that when u keep in ur pocket, in ur pants i mean, automatically calculate the dist u hav walked

Answer 4

Depending on how much I run, I measure out 7 miles on the road with my car and mark each mile , that away when I run I know how many miles I will be running out and back from my house

Answer 5

I'd use a pedometer, nike+ sensor or a running computer like a Garmin forerunner, with the foot pod to check.  My treadmill shoes me only the speed the belt is moving, I'm under 5 foot so what is a normal fast pace for a regular person is a faster pace for me.  I use sensors and a pedometer as I'm training for a 5K and need to check my pace and distance.  The Garmin and footpod are on my list as a reward for running a 5K at the end of the year.
