Q: Indoor Run - calories inconsistant
I seem to get very different calories burned on indoor runs even with the same time and treadmill settings.
I do a 30 min run at 4.0 miles an hour. Get almost the same recorded distance each time as you would expect but the calories burned can vary from 140 to 200. Seems odd. It is not due to heart rate as some have told me. Had one last week burring 190 calories with average heart rate of 102 - today the same run with an average heart rate also of 102 says I burned 140 calories. These are too far apart - almost 30% - makes no sense. The treadmill which does not monitor my heart says 330.
The watch and phone get calibrated often on outdoor walks so this should not be an issue.
Any ideas why?
