I just wanted to go for a peaceful, mind clearing training run on my treadmill. All was well until a raging debate fired up between my Gamin 920xt and my treadmill monitor. I was breathing too hard to moderate properly, Lester Holt could have done a better job than I did.
According to my treadmill, I was running a 7min mile (set at 8.6mph with 1.5 degree incline), but my Garmin vehemently opposed this stating my pace flip-flopped between 7:35-7:20.
What gives? Who is right?
I'm guessing that the Garmin is subject to error and calculates my pace off of my cadence and GCT? The treadmill is quite old, but I did do a very sophisticated calibration of it last year .... I rigged my bike up onto the treadmill, turned it on to 10mph and checked my bike computer ... it was dead on.
So, based on this ... who would you vote for?
