Edit distance on Apple Watch?

Is there a way to edit the distance on an indoor run? My watch has a pretty big variance from the treadmill distance and pace.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

To add to this, the reason why things like distance and pace are off is because of the different ways the different devices track you. Apple Watch uses things like arm movement and GPS to track steps and distance, whereas a treadmill uses speed to calculate distance. This is also why you see a difference in things like calories- the Watch has an always going heart rate sensor whereas the treadmill does not. It’s just an unavoidable problem unless you find a gym that has GymKit enabled devices. Hope this helps!
