Ok - I'll have a look at where it's scoring points.

Not being picky btw, just helping to understand anomalies.

Keep up the good work.

It definitely isn't really accounting for distance in the hilliness score. There is no way that the Cardiff HM is hillier on a per mile type basis than Atlantic College 10k...............longer, yes, hillier, no.

I did a training run at the weekend, according to Garmin I ras 294m up and 316m down, but when I looked at the hilly thing in routes, I only did 103 up and down. Am I missing something?

Nope, the Garmin is 'poor' at elevation. The route will compare to map data.

I would have thought a hill was defined more by it's height than it's slope?

Ok, I have a question. If a hill goes up by 1 metre in 100, is that a hill? I know it's subjective,...
