Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Minetti equation calculate grade-adjusted pace?
Minetti's equation measures the metabolic cost of running (Joules per kg per meter) across gradients from -40% to +45%.
Why does running uphill feel exponentially harder?
Metabolic cost increases non-linearly because muscles must constantly overcome gravitational potential energy.
