What is grade-adjusted pace (GAP)?

Grade-adjusted pace converts your actual running pace on a hill into the equivalent pace you'd run on flat ground for the same effort. Because uphills slow you down and downhills speed you up, GAP lets you compare effort fairly across varied terrain.

How do I use the grade-adjusted pace calculator?

Enter your running pace and the hill gradient (percent incline or decline), and the tool returns your flat-equivalent GAP. This helps you judge whether a hilly run was actually harder than a flat one and pace your effort more consistently on rolling courses.

Why is grade-adjusted pace useful for training?

It lets you train by effort rather than raw pace, so an uphill stretch counts for the harder work it really is. Comparing GAP across runs makes progress clearer on hilly routes, where actual pace alone can be misleading.

Ukugijima ngo-6:00/km ukukhuphuka igquma elimadolonzima kuwumzamo onzima kakhulu kunokugijima ngo-6:00/km endaweni eyisicaba, ngakho ukuqhathanisa ijubane elingelona elilungisiwe phakathi kokugijima emagqumeni nasendaweni eyisicaba kudukisa. Faka ijubane oligijime ngempela nomthambeka omaphakathi, futhi lesi sibali sibuyisela ijubane lakho elilungiselelwe umthambeka — ijubane lendawo eyisicaba ebeliyodla umzamo ofanayo — kusetshenziswa imodeli ye-Minetti yezindleko zokugijima. Lisebenzise ukuhlela ijubane lokukhuphuka, uqhathanise izikhathi zendlela yehlathi nezomgwaqo, futhi ulandelele ukuqina ezindleleni ezingafani neze.

Ijubane elilungiselelwe umthambeka (GAP) liguqula ijubane oligijime emthambekeni libe ijubane ebeliyodla umzamo ofanayo endaweni eyisicaba. Lisebenzisa imodeli ye-Minetti yezindleko zamandla zokugijima, ngakho ukugijima ukukhuphuka kuhambelana nejubane elisheshayo elilingana nendawo eyisicaba, kanti ukwehla okuthambile kuhambelana nelincane elinensayo. Sebenzisa i-GAP ukuze uqhathanise ngokulingana ukugijima emagqumeni nasendaweni eyisicaba, uhlele ijubane lokukhuphuka ngomzamo, noma uhlole ukuthi ukugijima endleleni yehlathi bekunzima yini njengoba bekuzwakala.
