Crazy. Mark a dot on the treadmill track. How is the person moving relative to that dot? How is the air in the room moving relative to that dot? That's basi

Crazy.
Mark a dot on the treadmill track.
How is the person moving relative to that dot?
How is the air in the room moving relative to that dot?
That's basically all that can distinguish between running at constant speed on a treadmill vs. on level (non-treadmill) ground.
If you're running 8mph on a treadmill, it's like running 8mph on level ground, with an 8mph tailwind.
How do you fail so badly at physics?

- dasil003 16y agoThe fact that you are upvoted more than me shows me that too many people spend too much theorizing and not enough time actually trying it out. Go spend some time on a treadmill and some time running outside. It very well could be that if you had a perfect tailwind (which doesn't happen) then it would be similar, but I wouldn't bet on it (the surfaces are different for starters). My point was that running on a treadmill is not the same, and that's irrefutable.
