Nike Plus IPhone App- Accurate on Treadmill?

RooMcDermott

I love my Nike Plus Iphone app and have been using it when I run on my treadmill. My question/concern is that it is accurate as far as mileage and pace? The mileage/pace on my treadmill never matches what my Nike + app says. My treadmill is pretty old, so maybe it's the treadmill that is off?

Anyone use the Nike + app on the treadmill?

What other apps are good for tracking mileage on a treadmill?

Hi,

I have been using the Nike Plus iPhone App for over a month now & its pretty accurate with my treadmill.

One of the first things that I did when I started using this App was to calibrate it. You can find more info on how to achieve this here: http://support-en-us.nikeplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29202/p/3169,3575

Do let me know if you need more help with this...

Mine almost exactly matches what my treadmill indicates

Do you ever use an armband on the treadmill or do you always hold your phone in your hand?

Using my armband today my treadmill and Nike+ app showed different mileage, so I was wandering if it was accurate or not as well.

I do not think its accurate at all. My gym has 4 treadmills and I have ran on each of them using the app while using an armband on my left arm. I normally run for a hour and according to each of the treadmills I run around 5 1/2 miles but on the nike app it says I run a little over 6.5 miles. That's a huge difference. I will try to calibrate it according to another reader in hope that it's fixed.
