| OnYourLeft: | hey there roger... why do you separate the uphill from the downhill into two different logs when they are the same workout? curious. |

| ebone: | I'll field that one: because they're at different intensity levels. Going down is significantly easier aerobically (especially when you take it easy like Roger did). Some people don't bother to log different intensities separately, presumably to save time/effort. So, for example, some people would log a whole speed workout as intensity 5, even though most of the training time was spent warming up, recovery jogging or warming down. In order to more accurately track how much high intensity training I've been doing, I usually separately log different intensity levels (although for small bits of training at a higher or lower intensity during a longer session, I sometimes don't bother). |

| roschi: | i only do it for the trail runs... should do it for the bike workouts too since there it is even more different... the reason why i do it for the trail runs is because with elevation gain it tells me the average speed (min/km) taking elevation into account... a swedish invention and I believe its each 1300m climb relates to 10km extra distance... you can see it at the back of the training log... |
