Testing Your Treadmill Speed | Belt Length Calibration
Channel: Film My Run
Date: 2018-02-16

Calibrating your treadmill. Many of us who own a home treadmill often wonder how accurate it is. With the advent of Zwift it's even more important to make sure you are running at the right pace/speed.

This test requires you to measure the length of your treadmill belt and then run on the belt and time how long it takes for the belt to go around 100 times. You then carry out a calculation to determine the 'loaded' speed of your treadmill. The calculation is 

Belt Length multiplied by 100 divided by time

You can also alter the test slightly by running for one minute and counting the number of belt revolutions in that minute.

Belt length multiplied by revolutions divided by 60 seconds

I hope this helps you to determine more accurate speed on your treadmill.
