Weird that the treadmill is at room temperature while the room is frigid.

...I live in Texas

I wonder how much of the heat coming from the treadmill is electrical and how much of it is biological

I'd say that all of the yellow on the tread is friction from running on it

Basement room, so it's cool.

Seems a bit warm, time for a lube?

Neither is a major source of heat here, most of this is friction, the running mat drags against a static surface and with the weight of a human on it it has a LOT of friction and that generates heat.

Probably friction from the fact that it has to constantly slide while being pressed into the plate under the tread with the force of an adult human.

I spent way too long looking for Saddam Hussein. Lemmy, you have ruined me.

Neither. It's friction.

Also, regularly lubricate your treadmills if you want any durability.

I thought people were crazy for wanting room temp water when I lived in Florida. Why would you want 80 degree water, lol
