Let's say you're entering a workout contest on the treadmill. The idea is to walk or run as long as possible, until you give up or fall. Your final score is

(treadmill inclination) x (speed in MPH) x (time in hours)

What would you set the inclination to and how fast would you move?

And sorry baws you can't grab the handles during the contest

I would go last and see how quickly everyone else failed. Then I would know how long I needed to walk at a moderate pace with a slight incline.

No incline is a Zero score.

Even so, if you set it at a walking speed of 2 miles per hour, you would have to walk for 9 hours versus walking at 3 mph at a 6 degree incline for 1 hour. I don't think that strategy would work out.

Just walk at no incline. Adding speed or incline reduces efficiency. If incline is by degree such that flat = 0 just incline it to a comfortable stride.

Out of those, mph is the easiest to increase. An extra hour or extra percent grade is way harder than upping your speed by 1mph. I guess I'd set it at a comfortable incline and a speed I could do for about 1.5 hours.
