You can add columns for that on the rhs.

You can also see the percent deviation for legs (or segments, just add splits) that you intended to run straight.

Looking at the pace and/or heart rate for legs can give you a closer indication of where you may have lost time and/or whether that was due to going harder than you should have.

Just a few ideas.

After reading this, I went back and adjusted using #2, start/finish, and #8, and both 7 and 13 line up ok for me, although 7 is a little bit short - not on a different cliff, though. I guess maybe the map has some warp, or more likely, our gps tracks have massive amounts of error. My track doesn't go through #5, though.

On a training note, I've been using my quickroutes to try and check on less yellow-red alternating on legs - trying to run more consistently and not stop to check the map.

Ooh, more playing in QR to do- is this with new version Cristina?

Not sure what to think about QR track vs. map, really.

Which Garmin are you using? The newer ones with the "QuickStart" sometimes aren't as accurate if you use that feature.

If you imagine it's an old 305, and let it warm up in open sky for 1-2 minutes, before you go run around, they tend to work best, as then they get refreshed orbits from the satellites (which come down in 18-second messages from the satellites, every 30-seconds.)

The newer Garmin's end up extrapolating too far from older orbits sometimes, in the name of quicker-start.

Ditto. The old good 305. Since 2007 second one just died on me and I am replacing it with another 305 :)
