I just bought a treadmill, I have the Nike I-pod shoe kit and when I run outside I can do a 7:50 mile [I’m not a great runner] but when I ran on the treadmill my I-pod said I ran .50 miles in 11 min I was exhausted does the I-pod chip work on a treadmill??

It could be a problem with the calibration. Try this
Find a track or route where you know the exact distance (If you’re a long-distance runner, it should be no less than a mile).
Turn on your iPod and navigate to Nike+iPod>Settings>Sensor>Calibrate
Read the instructions and then choose “walk” or “run”
Then choose “400 meters” or “custom”
If you choose “custom” enter the distance of your track or route.
Next, select your music. The voice will tell you to press the center button to start calibration.
Start running.
At the end of your route, press the center button again. Then press “menu” to finish calibration.

People run/walk differently on a treadmill than on the ground so it may be reading different. I would go by what the display on your treadmill says.
