converting elliptical miles to run in miles?

[EMHDad]

I have an odd question. I have a goal of running to Disney World. (figuratively speaking). I have run 402 of my 1208 mile goal. I want to start calculating some of my miles on the elliptical. However, I know the miles are not equal. So, any best quess? If I go 10 miles on the elliptical, then how many miles should I record on my chart? 8? 7? 5? Something else? Can't be done? Any thoughts? Thank you

Do you know what your average mile per minute is while running?
For example, if you run say a 10 minute mile, maybe you can just count every 10 minutes on the elliptical as one mile?

That would be my best guess as long as you continue at the same pace.

Good luck!

tough to convert..... Colorically, I would burn about 60-70% of a run's rate. Using that I would say a 10 mile elliptical run would be roughly equivalent to a 6 -7 mile run.

I thought this was an interesting problem so here's what I found on the internet http://http://www.livestrong.com/article/304211-how-to-convert-elliptical-strides-to-miles/ I hope the link works if not, basically find out the length of the stride on the elliptical and divide that into 63,360 inches to find out the number of strides you need for a mile "on road".
