I've also done some work on the conical hill problem. If you're really interested in the maths, I can send you a copy of what I've done.

That's what Naismith's rule is, Hank.

Possibly me - I mentioned it on a thread a few years ago, back when my factor was actually 10!

For MMs I've always gone with something like 100m of climb = 1km of flat, so 2km of flat running might be 12 minutes and 1km with 100m climb about...

Phil also once set a problem for his students - assuming a conical hill and all things equal, if you are to get from one side to the other, is it...

A cloudy but milder day for todays outing on the Arkose. Youlgreave and Friden again before a change of direction to Pike Hall and then Aldwark....

Due to a knacked knee, and being off running for a while, I’ve now taken the huge step of getting on my bike (well my daughter’s very old bike to be...

It might have been worse Graham. You could have been tip toeing alongside your Bianchi!

7.3 miles, 3,694 feet, 2 hours 46 minutes: Wansfell Pike, with 3 times up/down the race route to the kissing gate. Overcast and misty with a partial...

cheeky guy always visiting because he knows he get free food

Club session... 5 x 1 mile with 2mins rest between. 9 miles in total. Not much to report, worked hard and felt good. Weight back at 80.5kg so...

1200 races!! I was on schedule to pass the 100 landmark by spring/summer last year... obviously things didn't go to plan, and i am currently...

That is basically the same thing as mine! In fact i think i pinched it off a thread on here originally...

I have my % of winning time (% of finishers and other data) for all the 1200 fell races (in over 300 different events) I have completed (excluding...

I had a simple way of working out a time factor for races. For example if a race was 13 miles and 5000' adding them together gives 18 - if I could...

Thanks for the heads up. That was absolutely great in a brilliantly Scottish way. Cameron McNeish does exactly the same type of campervan pootling...

Twenty eight miles and 2100 feet. Because of the forecast sleet I set off on a tour of the bypasses: Addingham, Skipton, Keighley but then in the...

Scrappy win even better! We deserved it on the overall balance of play, but Newcastle had a good go in the second half. Halfway through the season...

1 minute 20 today :). The kids are gaining on me. Daughter: 52 seconds. Son: 53 seconds.

I have (or had) a bit of a formula for predicting race times... It was something along the lines of 10mins/mile + 10mins/1000ft..... but you...

Extracting a big parsnip from the ground in my garden. Did I expend more calories digging it out than I will gain from eating it?

I don't have it to hand at the moment, but I seem to remember that Phil Scarf's analysis of fell race results gave a ratio of 1:7.92, very close to...

And Cameron McNeish on BBC Scotland tonight at 7.00 - walking (and biking and campervanning) up the west coast to Mallaig.

10.5k round the fields and woods. All the big puddles have finally drained but the ground is frozen solid. Legs felt tired, head was a bit mushed...

Naismith's works just as well for fellrunning too, though I've found from personal experience that the ratio is more like 1:8 (100m climb = 800m...

I hope it sorts itself. I have no experience here, but am amused that your "limited" weekly mileage is about the same as what I'm hoping to work up...

I set of a bit earlier today to beat the rain and snow forceast by the BBC as 100% by 10.00am. Down to Youlgreave and then onto the A6 at Pickory...

HaHa. I have no intention of visiting "all the trig points". At the start of the year it seemed like a good idea to visit a different Triangulation...

I did 7 miles round the frozen roads/fields/farms. Mikrospikes again. It didn't feel quite as cold as yesterday, but some of the gates between fields...

Thanks Mike.
