Hills for breakfast, hold the gnats

Were you running the hill right down off Fairway?

If so, I applaude you!

That is wicked right there!!

Yes. Between Fairway & Fisher, closer to Fairway. I'm tired!! Thanks, Jeff!

I saw that moon this morning!

I think that the distance measurement is just not as precise as the pace measurement, especially for a short distance. At least that's my rationalization for the pace differences on my hill sprints.

I have no doubt that SC is making you stronger.

Good workout. If you're out early enough to see the dark side of the moon, you're out early enough!

That particular stretch from the golf course access road up to Fairway I call thigh-buster hill.

Nice hills, Sno! I think the accuracy of the Garmin increases as the distance increases. For short bursts, like .10 of a mile, it is less likely to be accurate for the same reason it fails on switchbacking hill routes - it just misses some crucial data. Besides, your times are based on mile pace, and if you divide those out to be the actual number of seconds each interval takes you, the differences would be very tiny. And, they are in roughly descending order, which is kind of to be expected. At least that is the way mine are anyway.

Thx Carolyn and A-Em-- So do you think the pace info is more accurate than the distance? Or is it all approx. at such a short distance?

I think the pace calculation is a function of distance and time, so I suppose the pace is no more accurate than the distance. I do, however, thing it's more precise, if that makes any sense. The difference between 9:10 pace and 9:20 pace for example, is less than the difference between 1.1 and 1.2 miles. So in that sense, I think the pace value is more reliable than the distance value, though the accuracy is basically the same. Maybe the pace is more accurate if it calculates the pace using a more precise distance measurement than it shows us. I'm thinking out loud now.

Unfortunately over that distance, the noise in your GPS accuracy is pretty heavily affecting your pace and even your distance. At rest, the best accuracy I can recall my watch advertising was 21', which is more than enough to throw off pace calculations over the ~600' you're running in 1 minute.

Let this be another lesson to us number crunchers. Just focus on the workout and it's purpose....increasing strength and power. I'd say the shaky legs are a sign you did that :). Good job!
