Accumulated climb (Read 1428 times)

Hi José, This maybe a little too specific for most users, but, it could be a good example of a custom field. I've been thinking about how to do something like this. I'll see if I can come up with something for the next version of the training log. eric

I would appreciate this feature very much. Virtually all of my running is done on trails and I believe that the elevation gain is equally important, if not more important than total distance for my training purposes. Thanks Jarrod

This is hugely important. I run primarily in the mountains and am logging my vertical climb. Currently I log my daily climb on paper and do a weekly entry. I have to enter it in yards, and the Summary page shows it as fractions of a mile. It isn't working out. I was hoping to get the daily/weekly/monthly climb in feet at a glance to help avoid overtraining, setting and meeting weekly goals. Now I log it and I can see I've climbed 5 miles this year. At least adding feet as a possible distance unit would help. Mountain Running is a growing niche in the sport and I know a few other runners who don't even log distance anymore, just duration and climb.

I agree this would be a great feature.

Instead of a field for climb, it would make more sense to add it as a custom field that can be named by the user, kind of like how different workouts can be named per user. Not enough may want to track accumulated climb, but there could be enough users who'd like to graph/track "something" .
