I am training for the Los Angeles Marathon but i have no method of measuring how much i run. I run on my treadmill but it stopped transmitting data so now i just go by time. What is a good way to measure my distance.
Pedometers arent an option since they only work if you run at a consistent pace and consistent stride length and they end up changing when i get tired.

older Polar watches have a transmitter you put on your shoe and counts the strides you take while you run. This will work on the treadmill.
To take a mathematical approach to it, this is what I would do. I would take the belt and make a line across it. I would run the treadmill at whatever speed you run at and count how many times the belt rotated per minute. It would then be a matter of measuring the length of each belt rotation and multiplying it by the distance of each rotation. you could then transfer this info into fractions of a mile each minute and multiply that by each minute you ran. It will be a bit of a pain. You could also use a pedometer and calculate the distance of each step and multiply it by the number of steps you took to get an approximate distance also.
You really should get used to running in outdoor conditions if your gonna run a marathon. I strongly reccomend it. Im only going to tell you how to map out a run on the streets. Go to mapmyrun.com and go to start mapping and its pretty self explanitory from there. Dont use autorouting, though, sometimes it gets messed up. For the treadmill, if it shows u ur speed, you can tell the distance you ran. Say you run for 1 hour at 6 miles an hour (10 minutes a mile), you ran 6 miles. Other than that, idk what else will help.
if you know your pace per mile then divide that by the total time you ran, you should have the miles you ran
im gonna have to say the same thing
plan it out before you run.
like the car theory.
how aboput measure it in time
plan out your route, then what my dad was take his car on that route and measure it on his car
go to mapmyrun.com
