Good Morning,

I don't have an HRM and I wanted to figure out calories for running intervals on a treadmill (because I don't always trust my treadmill) So, I searched on MFP for a good way to log calories burned for running intervals on a treadmill, but couldn't find a lot of information, so I searched online and found this link: http://www.livestrong.com/article/34973-calculate-treadmill-calories/

It explains how to calculate the calories you burn per minute on a treadmill using the speed, incline, weight, and time.

SO, me being the spreadsheet loving gal that I am, I created one using the formulas on this page, and it can be downloaded here: http://www.box.com/s/7336564d0e1fc747e585

I wrote some simple instructions, and hope you all enjoy if you do use it. I know I will :)

    This is great! Is the speed in MPH and the grade in a %?

    Thanks for this!
