Nike+ Run app on treadmill

Is your phone connected to your watch when you run on the treadmill? If so, that might be the problem. The Nike Support page explains that when your phone is around, the watch app defaults to using the phone's accelerometer, so you'd have to hold your phone in your hand while running.

Hi,

Choose the workout that best matches what you’re doing. For example, if you're running on a treadmill, choose Indoor Run. If you're hand cycling or doing yoga, choose Other.

Hi

When using the built-in Workout app to record a treadmill running workout, choose Indoor Run as the activity type.

As GPS / Location Services data is not relevant for that activity, Apple Watch instead uses data from the built-in accelerometer to estimate results including pace and distance. Be sure to allow the arm on which you are wearing your watch to swing naturally as you run:

When instead using the Nike+ Run Club app, you may find it helpful to consult the developer's support resources for the app and/or to contact Nike for assistance:
