Honestly, neither is probably accurate to the actual distance. I use a Stryd footpod for distance, which does really well.

What watch do you have?

Calibrating the watch to the treadmill is probably about the best you can do.

Finally got up in the morning. Things should get easier once the antibiotics are out of my system. Breathing is a bit tough, and painful - my ribs are still sore from my last couple coughing fits - a week ago, now.

It's a Forerunner 235. I just got it yesterday, so I haven't figured out the strides and all of that.

I logged it on "run indoor", Because I imagine that "run" would be more accurate running GPS than technically running in place. I'd be glad to take a 9.5 minute mile at this point, but I'm just not there

I'm taking today off of running.

Yesterday I did 4.5 which puts me at 24.5 for the year.

The FR235 is a really good watch, I know a lot of people using it.

You logged it correctly, as well. Using an "indoor" running mode turns off GPS and instead uses the built-in accelerometers to measure distance (assuming you don't use a footpod). Just don't use your watch hand to hold a rail or get a drink - if the watch stops swinging with your running motion it thinks you've stopped running as well.

I think that was happening for some, and intervals as well. I've read that the watch can't keep up sometimes, with speed/cadence and heart rate. I watched it better today and it was a lot closer, less than .1 difference.

Optical HR (from any company) isn't perfect yet, so occasionally the watch will latch on to and report cadence as your HR. This is more likely to happen of cadence and HR are close together, or if the watch can't properly read your pulse. Most commonly it can happen if the watch is too loose, worn too close to the wrist bones, or if it's cold (blood vessel constriction).

Including a 24:51 5K*.

*Which is not a brag, it's a dig at myself.  That's 8:01 per mile.  That's like one stride too slow for an 8:00/mi pace.

I've been there when I did an 8.2 mile race last fall and ran at 8:03 per mile pace.  I slacked on a couple miles.

I came in sixth for my age group in my last race. 5th place guy was 15 secs ahead of me. Cant help but think I had that in me easy.

Still not trusting the run distance, but the walk/fast walk is pretty damn close.

Second to last run before 3M. 2 mile warmup, 2 mile at hm race pace, and 2 mile cool down. I'm hoping to have a pretty good PR. Hoping. I'm set for it.

Saturday I ran almost 7 miles. 1.5 warmup and 5.3 hard. I set a 10k pr even with the warm up mile, and had I pushed for one more mile I could have been right at 50:00. I'm getting faster and faster. Feels good.
