Q: calibrate Apple Watch on treadmill

I am using the built in fitness tracker to track my runs on the treadmill. Quite a few times, the distances reported by Apple Watch are 30%+ more than the distance reported by the treadmill, and in this case, I'm pretty sure the treadmill offers far greater accuracy.

 

So for example, if Apple Watch says I ran 5mi but my treadmill only reports 4mi, it there any way I can tell Apple Watch I've only run 4mi and for it to calibrate accordingly in the future?

 

I read the official Apple support document on calibration, but that involves GPS data, which doesn't apply to indoor activities.
