Treadmills
I'm trying to improve my mile time by running on the treadmill and increasing the speed obviously. I know that I can run the mile in 9:30 secs. I dont know if that's my best, but it's the only time I know, so I'm wondering what speed you think I should put the treadmill on to obtain that time or somewhere around there (9:15-9:45 range). also, how do you know? is there like a button where you can see which speed will run the mile in that time. haha idts, but maybe. lol
thanks so much :)

Well for myself, i run a mile in about 11 mins. I usually go around 5.8-6 mph. But I'm guessin you would have to go between 6.5-7 or even more to get it in 9mins. On my tredmill it shows the calories, the time, and your speed. I'm not sure if theres a tredmill that will show you how long it will take to run the mile. But jus try going on about a 6.5 or 7 mph speed to see how long it takes to run the mile.

i did some math, and here's what i came up with: if you go 6 mph for 10 minutes, you will have run a mile. so you could increase the mph every day by, say, .2 or something. and then it would shave time off of the mile. i'm not sure what kind of treadmill you have, but mine tells me distance, how many calories, speed, and time so far. it also tells me, based on what speed i'm going, how many minutes it should take to go a mile. my advice is to time yourself with a stopwatch. on my treadmill, the different info flashes at different times, so i have to sit there and stare at it to even figure out what i'm doing... like on the screen it will show calories, then time, then distance, blah blah blah. or, if you're math-minded (i am), then you can do a proportion with miles per hour and time to find out how fast you need to go.
