How does Wireless Run Tracker ONLINE calculate a difficulty index for my activities and what can this be used for?
Without revealing the actual secret formula, we take a look at the beginning elevation of the route, how far the route goes and what the changes in incline and decline are. That gives us a difficulty index for the route by itself. We then take a look at the actual environmental readings on the day the route was recorded. Having a high heat index or chill factor or heavy winds modifies the difficulty for the overall performance. Now you can go out and compare what you did with others and have a way to compete on equal footing even though you were in different places on the globe. Pretty cool huh?
