Help! So I'm not very savvy about distances - I always go for time (45 mins) but now I'm curious how far I actually run! My treadmill says 5.0 by the time I hit 45 minutes. Appx. 30 of these minutes I’m sprinting/running as hard as I can (I consider myself a good runner.) By the end of the 45 minutes I am soaking with sweat. So did I run 5 miles or 5 kilometers? Opinions! Thanks guys x

    You probably did 5 miles. That would be an average pace of 9:00/mile for 45 minutes.

    agreed 5 ks is 3 miles 5x6=30 drop the last digit... I was in germany for 6 years.. that would be a 15:00 minute mile, which you can walk at about 4 mph...
    5 miles =9 minute pace.... great job.

    Does your treadmill have a manual? It probably confirms what setting it's on and how to change it if it's wrong for you.

    It's the treadmill at the gym unfortunately so no access to a manual. I did however google the model # but still no luck. Anyways I'm confident it was miles now! Thank you though :)
