Well tried out my new treadmill today. God that was hard work. It's meant to go at your speed however I felt I was going too fast and had to hold onto the handles. How do you add it on Strava? Doesn't give a treadmill option. Managed under 20mins as it was such hard work.
Hoping the remaining snow disappears asap so I can run outside.
Can you not slow the treadmill down to suit you?
No it's manual so goes at your speed so I obviously walk quicker than I thought lol. Will keep it for a while but may sell it. Trouble is it has to be a folding treadmill as don't have a lot of space. The current one is in the front room lying on its side.
Feel I will have to keep it for a while, as husband said the booklet was rubbish hardly any photos and the ones it had were not much help, so don't think he would be too happy if I get rid of it now after barely two weeks.
I see, have you tried reducing the angle of the treadmill, I think your machine has 3 different settings?
No I haven't. I will get my husband to alter it so it's flat. Just read a review saying that as the person was heavy their weight forces the belt to move quicker so maybe that's why I'm finding it hard. Like I said I will give it six months to see if it is still as hard, if it is I will purchase a motorised foldable one although hopefully the gyms will be back open in a few months.
Manually add to Strava if it won’t sync from garmin. Click on the plus sign then manual activity in the top left corner of the app and bang in time and distance on that.
I know how to manually add an activity but there's no treadmill option so what do I put for a treadmill walk or run ?
Update: added activity
Hi Pippa . There is an option for entering your treadmill time etc on Strava.Hope this helps and good luck with your treadmill👍😀it is one of the tags.
Thank you but I can't quite see where the option is. In the first drop down box you put run but there's nothing in the second box except none of long run, workout and race. No treadmill option. Please could you show me exactly what the option is. Unless the former is incorrect. Is this on a computer? I have Strava on my mobile but this looks like it's on a computer.
Hi Pippa. Sorry about that. I have just gone onto my Strava and uploaded a manual entry. Then hit the tag for treadmill and then once that was done it came up as treadmill run. I think perhaps that’s about as much as you can do. Of course I deleted it as I’m still in bed having a cup of tea at the moment 🤣🤣. Apologies for not being much help to you. Hope you get it sorted.🤞😀
That's ok but I don't see the treadmill option on the first drop down box just virtual run. Where is the tag for treadmill on Strava?
This is on my iPad and iPhone 😀
Hi Pippa again. Do you Sync your walk or run to Strava? Anyway at the top right hand corner there is a cross . Tap on that and you will see options. Manual Entry is the one you want. You can add your Walk/run there. Hope this example will help. Other that I don’t know where you would go short of contacting Strava themselves. I used to have a treadmill and would set my garmin to indoor run and then it would sync to Strava. But I have entered it manually too.
Good luck . Hope it works out for you eventually?👍😀😀
My watch automatically syncs to Strava but I didn't run just walked but not sure how to change it on Garmin connect
I don't get the treadmill tag on my phone, although I do on my computer - are you using a computer there?
Hi Roseabi it’s on my iPad and although I haven’t tried it I think it will be on my iPhone as well😀👍
I was thinking it might only appear on larger screens (tablet or computer).
Edit: Nope, it's not on my tablet either!
Don't have a computer except in the bedroom but it's old no internet connection and laptop battery died yonks ago so it's not in use. I have l don't have an iPhone just Sony Xperia 5
So you don't see the treadmill tag on your phone either? I just get the 'commute' tag
This is what I see when I select run on manual entry. If my watch is syncing automatically even if I select treadmill on my watch it still shows as treadmill running not walking as I did yesterday on Garmin connect.
The tags are down at the bottom of that screen you posted here, but I only get the 'Commute' tag on my phone. What can you see?
I can only see commuter too.
There's an Indoor Walk app for the Garmin you could try - you would need to be able to keep your watch hand off the treadmill handle for accuracy though. Also I don't know under what heading (indoor walk, walk etc.) it would feed through to Strava.

Thank you. May have to wait until I have sorted out the belt tension. No way I can not hold on with both hands atm as I would shoot off the back and hurt myself. Will look into it though.
Treadmill - slower pace and more perspiration?
Time to get back on track
Out of action/on the IC
Woo woo A new 5K PB 🏃♀️👏🎊
