The treadmills I am using can only go up to 12 mph. AT this 12mph, what incline would make it equal the difficulty of running 15mph

Like 50 degreess
I cannot speak to the accuracy of this chart.
Since it gets somewhat icy where I live, I run on the treadmill more in the winter. And I've found this chart pretty accurate pace wise based on effort. Daniels' also has a chart in his book and I think the numbers are similar. But I haven't extensively studied it since it isn't laid out as nicely

I can. Its the biggest piece of garbage ever posted on the internet.
The one below is far more accurate though it still underestimates effort when the incline gets to 12% or greater.

Outstanding link! I have not seen this before. I had some hesitation about my link, as 12 mph at a grade of 10 suggests a biomechanical load far exceeding what is written in my link. For some reason, everybody seems to refer to that as the 'Gold Standard' of sorts. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Incline guru, I'm checking out this site and I must say I love it. Any other cool running links you might share?

That thing is a joke right?
That's exactly what I'm thinking - I have done 12 @ 10 incline for short intervals and subjectively it seems much harder than a low 60s per 400 pace, as the chart would suggest.
I would wager this calculator is also off because even though you input weight, it doesn't take it into account for the conversion. Like with cycling, heavier people are going to suffer more oxygen costs on incline than lighter people. I have used a HRM and I get penalized at 185 far as I add incline far more than either Hillrunner or the calculator belie.
