About this tool
Enter your flat pace in minutes per kilometre, the course distance, and its total climb. The tool adds an estimated time cost for climbing and shows the adjusted pace. This is a rough estimate: gradient, descents, and surface change the real cost of hills.
Frequently asked questions
Is the climbing cost exact?
No. It is a rough rule of thumb; steep pitches and technical descents change it.
Do descents give time back?
Partly, but not fully: most runners lose more on climbs than they regain descending.
