The treadmill could be moving 10 times faster than the person pushing you or it could be going 1,000 times faster, it still won't effect how hard, or easy in this case, it is for someone to push you forward.

ok, how about this this, the earth is spinning right? Approximately 1,070 mph at the equator, does the earth spinning have any effect on a plane taking off or landing? That's far faster than a plane is going on take off yet they still take off by the 1,000's everyday with no problems. Then can a plane not land east to west just as easily as west to east or does it have to take off the same direction as the earth is spinning? (as long as there is no dangerous headwinds present anyways) The movement of the runway has no effect on the motion of a plane, just stop thinking how a car operates and you'll figure it out.
