Treadmill on the Ship

When I run on the treadmill, I have to have my hands free. It just feels too weird to hold on and run. When the sea is calm, this takes concentration, but it is doable. When the sea is rough, you have to hold on. I’ve discovered that walking at 4 miles per hour with a setting of 14% grade burns more calories per minute than running at 6 miles per hour on 0% grade. So, I’m walking, with the 14% grade. Its safer, and probably better on my knees.
