Calories burned running and walking



I've updated my page on the Calories burned running and walking. The page now shows the values based on the weight you input, giving Calories per mile/Km as well as Calories per hour. I also have a chart showing the pace you would go up a hill if you kept the same effort as running on the flat. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Calories_burned_running_and_walking

Updated VDOT Calculator's Long Run Difficulty



I've tweaked my calculation of the relative difficulty of different length and pace long runs that's part of my VDOT calculator. I'm now using a formula for working out VO2max pace (vVO2max) rather than assuming it's mile race pace. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/VDOT_Calculator

Now with added Science - Updated Comparison of Energy Gels



I've made a number of updates to my comparison of energy gels, including an overview of the typical ingredients, breaking down the types of carbohydrates used, estimating the amount of water needed to be isotonic, and listing the ingredients for each gel. I've also tweaked my ratings for some of the gels slightly. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Comparison_of_Energy_Gels
