Now I think about it, I might add in that funny stepper machine at the gym, if I can work out how many metres one floor is. I feel the punishment it delivers deserves some statistical reward.

Although of course I haven't actually climbed anywhere on that, I'm still at the same altitude I started at  So maybe no to that too.

I'm only planning to include cycling and large single hikes or off-road runs that have mountains in them.
I am not, no way, never, keen enough to sit down with a calculator and try to work out how far I'll "climb" with the treadmill on a particular incline.

Interesting theme here. I logged 4841 ascent last year for running. I seemed to miss out on most of the club hill sessions for varying reasons even though I really wanted to do them. As I've signed up for a few hilly races this year I think I'll keep track of how much vertical I do.
I'm sure that going uphill on a bike also helps with going up on 2 legs, both walking and running so win, win, win all round.

Another 203m on my 4 mile plus walk with Jess the GSD this morning. that makes 637m. I'm hoping to have climbed a kilometre by the end of Week 1. Because that sounds quite nice.

Well done Sharkie. I'm back in the relative flatlands now, though I could easily change my 'running from home' routes to include more uppiness. This is where the discipline of having a target is going to help, I hope!

Two runs totalling 191m and two bike rides for 383m (combined total of 574 meters ascent).
The local area is mainly flattish with slow rises and some almost hills*. It'll be interesting to see where this ascent gets to.
* On occasion I tow a trailer with the bike and then the long slow slopes and almost hills can be a thigh burning right royal PITA!

Insomnia gets you thinking, would step ups count towards an ascent target?

I'd say your target, your rules, SVB.
