Rote arithmetic may help you develop an intuition for numbers. It's hit or miss though and there are more effective and efficient methods than just doing a large volume of arithmetic. I believe the current trend in Math education is intended to take advantage of the more effective and efficient methods. Your treadmill is a good example actually. Much of the exercise world has realized that just jogging for a long period of time while effective is also not the most efficient way to exercise. Instead mixing periods of hi intensity workout with periods of lower pace workout can allow you to get more value with less time from you routine.
