The treadmills I use at my gym have a Navy PRT test on it and the incline is always set to 1.0 when I do it, so I keep the incline at 1.0 at all times when I'm running. I think my biggest concern is it'll be hard to see how fast I'm going and where I'm at in the 1.5 mile at a certain time. I know the whole point is to do it as fast as I can, but if I don't pace myself I will tire myself out too quickly. I started the Couch to 5k app today, but did it on the treadmill instead of running outside. Today's was do a 5 minute brisk walk and then rotate between jogging and walking every 1 min/1.5 min. What mph do you guys think is a good "jogging" pace? I did the brisk walk at 4.2 and walking at 4, but wasn't sure about the jog. I did the jog at 6mph this time, but didn't know if I should increase it. Doing today's 30 min C25K workout at those speeds was not hard at all. I broke a sweat like I do whenever I workout but was not winded or too tired to complete it by any means.
