Ascent in training log

4 watchers

Hube Jul 2012 9:23pm, 26 Jul 2012 First-time poster!!	0 Hube I have started to use the training log and as a fell runner I am keen on ascent as well as distance. I enter my runs including the ascent but I can't then see the ascent when I look at my log. Would like to compare weekly ascents etc. any ideas if this can be done?

Would be really cool if the function where you can compare the garmin details of runs had something about ascent as well as speed.

I can only assume that Hube's plea was heard, because there has been an ascent and descent field on the training log for as long as I've been on fetch. But here's the thing - when you first load a run, they are both zero. And they seem to remain zero until you go in and look at your run (using the spectacles icon) - then, when you return to the training log, the values magically appear. I pretty much always edit my runs as soon as I load them (from Garmin) - so editing obviously doesn't do the trick. I used to always obsessively inspect a run as soon as I had loaded it, so presumably the data was getting written in then. Having become slightly less obsessive, I now don't always insect them straight away, hence have quite a few runs with zero ascent/descent. Anyone else noticed this?

As soon as the Fetch server gets hold of your route, it trots off to a third party service to get more accurate info. If you refresh the page showing your route, it should have had enough time to get the data back."

nuttyficket Aug 2014 2:06pm, 3 Aug 2014 42 posts	0 nuttyficket I manually enter ascent and descent, but then it disappears somewhere into the electronic ether - doesn't appear on graphs, or logs, or by clicking the spectacles. Does it only work if you do a full GPX upload?
nuttyficket Aug 2014 2:16pm, 3 Aug 2014 43 posts	0 nuttyficket Well, it definitely works if you do a full GPX upload. Any chance the simple 'type a number in a box' method can be made to work too?
