What is treadmill elevation gain?
Walking or running on a treadmill simulates the experience of running on the ground, road, or any flat surface track. But, when the treadmill platform is provided with an incline angle, it simulates the experience of running uphill.
While running uphill, you burn more calories and significantly cover distance vertically and horizontally. This horizontal aspect you experience while running on a treadmill is called Elevation Gained on the Treadmill.
It’s a great way to determine the elevation you would have gained on a hill while covering a particular distance.
