What Is the Elevation Where I Am at Right Now

How often elevation gain is well thought out a hill to you?

I execute in Centennial State and definitely feel like I'm working finished hills on the "course" through my neighborhood, but I'm wondering how what I'm doing compares to other runners.

According to my Apple Ascertain I gain approximately 145-148 feet of aggrandisement in unmatched of the miles. Can anyone shed some view on that? What forgiving of hills are you running?

Pouring in Chicago, I've started counting the ramps in the crosswalks as "hills".

Do bent Waterfall Glen in the burbs and get your tooshy beat by "Big Bertha" :P my Garmin usually usually reads it at 137 feet of climb.

I ran 8 miles one morning in Chicago a few weeks back when I was visiting. I'm used to striking about 1300' of elevation on my long runs in CT, thus the 89' of elevation I faced on it run literally didn't feel actual haha.

I'm about 2 hrs due west of Chicago and my run are constantly sprouted and down hills as overmuch at 120 ft superlative difference, in reality total elevation gain in one of my recent ones was near 500ft. Along a side bank note, good to hear how flat since I'm doing the Michigan Marathon American Samoa my first.

Personally I classify 100 ft per Swedish mile as a "hilly" run.

I consider anything preceding 100 ft/mile (on average) a hilly run. Anything above 400 ft/mile (on average) is mountain running. Mountain track done at high elevation on alpine terrain - sky running game.

Saskatchewan checking in, I saw a hill erst

IT was in Alberta though

level 2

Saskatchewan, it's so flat that you can watch your chase break awa for a week.

level 1

The Bean Town Marathon but has 332 ft ascent (according to what I just looked up). I am not elite and will likely never qualify to run Boston!

I would call that hilly, yeah. 100' in a mile is a J. J. Hill.

Run I did today has 300' in 0.75 miles, then about 80' over the next mile. That's tough. I concoct that as "big hill"

The 400' stock in 1 nautical mile on the other pull is fun though!

Dang! That's then impressive. I very struggle with the 140. I bet you were flying on the way down — that's the best separate! :)

flat 1

I average a gain of 75 feet/statute mile on my runs in the Pittsburgh area.

level 1

In Portland, Oregon. Newberry rd has 500ft of elevation bring i in the first 1/2 mile.

take down 1

It's beautiful hilly in Raleigh, with apiece run consisting of duple hills of 100-200ft per geographical mile. Unless I'm on some benign of relatively flat greenbelt or a running, all of my daily runs have 500+ feet of pinnacle gain.

Thanks for asking this! As someone who moved recently from a unsmooth area to the PNW, I've been wondering if people in other parts of the country/world have as a great deal elevation changes in their runs as I do now.

A distinctive 4-5 mile run in my neck of the woods yields about 300 feet in elevation gain. More or less of the hills are long and gradatory (a mile operating theatre longer) and some are very steep and short (~100m).

dismantle 1

Varies by grade and length. Generally if my trial has a 2% overall grade I consider IT slightly hilly.

story 1

I'm in FL. Hills here are the remnants of the old inorganic phosphate pits when orthophosphate excavation was a thing in my town.

I don't really imagine about it. Where I live "flat" ISN't really a thing. Lots of hills exist, and my main running route has 25 m (82 ft) of elevation in the first K. You'ray basically forever going up and down some kind of Hill, whether it's a big hill or not is contestable!

level 1

My Sunday run has 4,300' of climbing. It takes me about 1:30. At that place is a bang-up view of Mont Blanc from the top.

level 1

anything more than 100 feet per .10th of a mile
