The Mathematics of Treadmill Speed Scaling

Treadmill dashboards display rate of travel using either angular drum velocity calibrated for miles per hour (US/UK) or kilometers per hour (Europe/Asia). For athletes training for outdoor races, translating these numbers into pacing formats (minutes per kilometer or minutes per mile) is essential for correct biological pacing zone setup. A unified pace scale allows runners to execute workouts in designated heart-rate zones regardless of the workout environment.
