  Yesterday, I did about 2.25 miles. I progressed each lap. MPH for my laps: 4, 6, 7, 8, 4, 6, 7, 8/9, 4.

  That counts and meets all OC requirements. You worked out.

  Nobody measures laps based on MPH.
  
  Hope this helps.

  My treadmill does. Thanks for attempting, though.

  Measuring laps at a pace is old school. Nowadays it's all in mph or if your fancy....kph. I'm better than all that though. I measure in feet per second.

  PT is progressing nicely for me. It's like I almost have a functioning arm again. Yay.

  Dlazz knows lotz about working out.

  I like to increase the incline alot on treadmillls to make it feel like I am running hills.

  Attempting? No.
  
  People usually measure in mile times, not MPH.
  
  Sorry your treadmill is a fail. LOL

  People who want to track total distance. I was running 400m intervals, so I didn't care about time, only speed. You're really good at this.

  Then track your 400m pace. Measuring MPH (especially with whole numbers) on that short of a distance is useless.
  
  You wouldn't measure a standing broad jump with miles, would you? It'd give you worthless numbers. Same idea here.

  Set treadmill to 7 mph. Run .25 meters. Increase to 8 mph for .25 meters.
  
  I'll continue to use my method, mostly because I wasn't a CC runner in HS, and DGAF about time. Furthest I've ran for time was 400m, and I no longer care about getting around the track in better than 51s.

  Whatever floats your boat. As long as ya keep the same system to track/guage your workouts it doesnt really matter how you do it.
  
  
  Although I have never heard someone reference MPH in regards to workouts....I usually go by pace/time.

  Oh you're right. I am derping quite hard. I never run on a treadmill. I was assuming you're running on a track.
  
  If you eventually transition off of the treadmill you'll still want to convert to tracking time instead. MPH is not a very useful number. If you stay on the treadmill it might be, but you'll lose a lot of data if you suddenly started running elsewhere.

  Reading is quite hard, everyone.

  Still, nobody measures in MPH.

  Shit's tight. I do something similar. I'll run for 30 minutes, but increase the MPH every 2-3 minutes. Yesterday I started around 6.6 and ended at 8. Definitely getting better as usually when I'd run, I'd stay right around 6.5mph for the entire time.

  Curling the remote control while on the couch counts too.
