Understanding Metrics​

Moving vs Elapsed Time​

  • Moving Time: When you were actually moving
  • Elapsed Time: Total time from start to stop
  • Difference: Rest stops, traffic lights, etc.

Speed vs Pace​

  • Speed: Distance per time (km/h, mph)
  • Pace: Time per distance (min/km, min/mi)
  • Use speed for cycling, pace for running

Heart Rate Zones​

Zone% of Max HRDescription
Zone 150-60%Recovery
Zone 260-70%Aerobic base
Zone 370-80%Tempo
Zone 480-90%Threshold
Zone 590-100%Max effort

Elevation Accuracy​

GPS elevation can vary:

  • Weather affects accuracy
  • Tree cover impacts signal
  • Barometric altitude more accurate

Calculation Notes​

Average Speed​

Average Speed = Total Distance / Moving Time

Elevation Gain​

Only counts uphill segments:

Gain = Sum of all positive elevation changes

Calories​

Estimated based on:

  • Duration
  • Heart rate (if available)
  • Power (if available)
  • Body weight (if configured)
