Ok my run today was a hard 5 miles... Not because of the pace. I ran it slower than I though. 10:26 pace. However I easily could have run with the same or lesser effort at a 8:45-9:15 pace on flat ground. The course has three 200 foot climbs in it. and a few 100 foot hills.

Should I consider this an easy run or hills? it isn't like I was running hill repeats... and it wasn't quite an easy run?

It's your log. You can call it anything you want.
But it sure sounds like hills to me. |

| Sounds like a medium run. But it depends on how you want to label it. You could call it Hills, and have a separate entry for Hill Repeats. |

| I'd log it as "rolling hills", which is different from "big hills" which is different from "medium hills" (300-700ft vertical, these are the ones I do repetitively). That's what *I* use. I also include the vertical feet of climbing in my log. You could log it however you want. For *me*, hard/easy is a matter of effort, not pace since 900 ft climbs in 1.5mi at high-end aerobic effort with pack isn't "easy" for me. |

Sure it does...from the running log, go to 'options', then 'my log preferences' and click on 'running'...lots of options! Enjoy... |

You can set a bunch of customized run types. Just click on Options at the top right of the screen, then "My Log Preferences", then "Running". |

| Great, now I'll be spending the next hour tweaking my colors! Getting rid of the pink tempo run will be a welcome change. |

are you not secure enough to log pink? 
lol, where I live almost all my runs are as the first poster described...I have to go out of my way to find a truly flat run.
I go by effort, not by pace. |

| I run a five mile course like that at work. We call it the Roller Coaster Route. I call it hills in my log. |

Pink is fine for something like a recovery run, but a tempo run is tough. It needs a more formidable color. Perhaps there's a way to fill the bar with skulls & crossbones?
