Ha! I might not be biking and hiking but it's hillier where I live! My four mile walk with the dog this morning logged me 164 metres.

*smirks - but then shakes head*

I was actually looking at Night Owl's 50 metres. She has claimed in the past that her immediate vicinity is hilly. Prove it N-O! ;-)

Not as hilly as my hill obvs - and today's walk was one of the flatter ones.

360m of ascent for me today. But that was in 41 miles. We chose a flat route.

You see N-O, we just can't compete with those Northern cyclists and fellhoppers.

You can if we have personalised targets and compete on percentages of those achieved.

If I was going to stretch myself, I'd aim for something like 100 miles of ascent.

I wonder if Fetch could produce some sort of league table like that? Based on last year, I'd set my sights on 10,000m. It would be cool to say I've done a vertical 10k :-)

That does sound cool LD. A vertical 10k! What a nice idea.

That sounds like an interesting idea, LD. After another 3 miles today, I have accumulated...22m of ascent according to FE :)

About This Thread

The Y-axis botherers of 2017 :)

Running or cycling or (somehow!) swimming uphill in 2017. Monkey people with the ropes and whatnot also very welcome.

Customised targets are the way to go here, depending on fitness and targets and geography and mode of propulsion. Good luck all :)
