Amazing the difference between treadmill and hrm calories!

powered85

I did a 10k run on a treadmill at the gym this morning in around 42 minutes. Entered my weight on the treadmill as that was all it asked for to figure out calorie burn.

Also had my Garmin Fenix3 with the scosche rhythm+ HRM and the Garmin footpod connected.

Footpod and treadmill distance was quite close.

Treadmill calories burned including 4min cooldown: 850
Fenix3 calories burned including 4min cooldown: 611

I use the Fenix3 numbers to enter in MFP but was amazed to see the difference! I'm thinking the treadmill was overestimating quite a bit here.

Anyone else see a big discrepancy when comparing this situation with gym equipment and their hrm/watch?

Yep. Treadmill and run apps are always way way over my reported calorie burn from my watch.
