Are Treadmills Really the Same Speed?

I ran on a different model treadmill at my gym today and now I'm exhausted.  Everytime that I use any treadmill, I set it to 6.1 miles per hour, but today's effort on the new treadmill killed me.  I wonder who tests these things to make sure they are standard.  My run tracker said I did 8 miles, not the 6.1 miles reported by the treadmill.  Perhaps this treadmill was made by Toyota.


Run: 6.1 miles (or 8)
Swim: 1 mile
Bike: 0
