Sorry, I sent before I finished my message. To show that 14% slope is more or less low enough for the calculation to be accurate I did the actual trig.
For a 60 inch treadmill, at a 14% slope, that is an 8 degree angle. At that angle, the rise is 8.35 degrees, and the run is 59.4 degrees with the hypotenuse of the 60 inch long treadmill. So, essentially, for these small angles, folks are correct, all you really have to do is multiply the percent slope times the length of the treadmill, but know that this will become pretty inaccurate as the angle increases. -- Blue skies.
