Elevation - 1000' = ??? (Read 401 times)  Finder of good newts
Has anyone seen a standard elevation to miles computation for
elevation on a run? For instance, I can run 8 miles with no
elevation gain in about 65 minutes pretty easily. But - through
in a nice 1200' (with a net of 0) and I'm at 75 minutes. Make
that 2000' on trails and it's a little over 90 minutes. I'm
wondering this for a couple of reasons. 1. Wondering what my
equivalent mileage is. and 2. Say I'm doing a 20 mile trail run
with 4000' of elevation, when should I tell my wife to pick me
up? :-) and as a bonus, it'd be cool for helping to figure out
calorie burn. Cheers!      It's hard to look down if you don't
go up
