For runners who prefer to train on a treadmill or an indoor track, COROS offers Indoor Run mode to track workout data such as pace, distance, heart rate and more.
COROS Support Insights
Running at a consistent pace is the number 1 rule to ensure accurate distance tracking for indoor runs. Consider doing warm-up and cool-down sessions in separate workouts.
Getting Started
Please follow the steps below to ensure proper tracking of your next indoor run:
- If running on a treadmill, utilize the Manual Speed function on the watch to lock the pace and receive accurate distance info.
- On the watch > Indoor Run > Manual Speed > enter the same pace as shown on the treadmill > start training.
-
Calibration range is up to +/- 25% of the distance recorded by the watch.
- Please reference the steps below if recalibration is necessary to accurately track the total distance covered for your workout.
- Pair with a supported running accessory such as the COROS POD 2 or the Stryd pod for best results.

Recalibration Support
It can be challenging for GPS watches to accurately track your run while indoors, due to the limited satellite signal. Thankfully, our watches utilize cadence to estimate pace with the help of a powerful cadence-pace model. With this model, the watch can estimate pace when you are running at different cadences to provide a more accurate representation of the total distance covered during your workout.
If your pace appears to be wrong and needs to be updated, you can rely on the post-workout distance calibration on the watch. The watch will use the average cadence of the workout and the new distance to calculate a new pace for that cadence, updating the cadence-pace model. All other cadences will receive an update via the model as well, and the pace will be correct the next time you run indoors with any cadence.
Please note: The following conditions must be met in order to see the calibration prompt appear on your device after finishing your indoor run:
- Please do not manually choose a speed for indoor run mode
- Please do not follow a structured workout or training plan (as this will also have a pre-set speed)
- At least 1 km of distance must be recorded
- The workout needs to be saved to your device
