Welcome to the world of running! |

Does running on a treadmill count, or does it have to be the road? And if I do it on a treadmill, will I have to enter it as just “running” for the mileage to be tracked automatically? |

I think it counts- cause some people are stuck inside due to weather and what not. I don’t know if entering workouts from the treadmill automatically go to running- |

Okay, I’m in. And until I hear from someone at Gyminee that treadmill mileage counts automatically, I’ll be entering that as plain old “running”. |

I would agree that entering your information in as the Running activity is the way to go. In the instructions for the challenge, it specifically calls out that activity and makes no mention of the Treadmill. |

I’m pretty sure treadmill counts, because treadmill miles show up in the locker room on the right side where it says “miles traveled”. So how do these challenges work? Is there an end date? I usually run 7-8 miles a week, so it will take a long time for me to reach 100 miles! |
| Nov 11, 2008 10:07am |
I think “Miles traveled” show the total of miles done whatever the activity might be as long as it’s a distance activity (running, biking, swimming, ...). But I would believe whent counting the mileage on a challenge, only the exact activity set ut for that challenge will count. So I’d say that putting miles on a treadmill would not count in the challenge. But I’d say it defenitely counts for the challenge, so you would need to add them as “running”. |

IronDave! You are killing me man!!!!!! I’m supposed to take it easy for two more weeks…You’ll be done with the 100 by then!!! Great job! On another note…you all have snow? |
| Nov 12, 2008 2:27pm |
Iron Dave’s right, miles run on a treadmill do have to be entered as “running” to count. I believe it’s supposed to count, since “running” shows up as an indoor activity as well as an outdoor activity. Of course, you could also run on an indoor track, but not so many of them out there as treadmills. If I walk a few minutes to warm up, I don’t think that should count, so I stop the machine, then re-start it and run so the mileage is correct. |

@BrieCheeze: no snow so far here, we usually get snow later and not that much, usually the ground is only covered up with snow for a couple of days then it melts away pretty fast or get wiped off by the rain. I could live with not running for a couple of days… I guess, though running in the snow should be fun (at least once or twice, maybe not always). I don’t think I’ll be running today, but I’ll probably run tomorrow… I’ll try to do the 9 miles I have left to reach the 100 ;) |

Hello everyone – Im gonna be purchasing a treadmill in the near furture. I cant wait to start – I did the c25k program last spring but haven done any running for a few months now. |

It sucks that treadmill doesn’t count. guess I have to quit this challenge. |
|

Just to clarify, treadmill running does count, but you have to enter it as “running” rather than “treadmill.” I made that switch and now enter all types of running the same way. |
