13 "How do they manage to keep walking for hours and hours?" (Holodeck and Computers - Star Trek)

The Holodeck has a force field treadmill. If its occupants get too

modify its gravity in 3 dimensions, the occupants won't notice any
inertial change. The novel "Reunion" [TNG] (while non-canon) goes into
details about this.
