What parts do you not understand? Pace? Splits? Elevation? All of the above? It can be confusing at first.

looking further i sort of understand the splits but not the diagram of pace and elevation and also the top section that says elevation gain 95ft.

Thanks

Ok, so the red elevation numbers on the left are indicating your actual elevation - how far above sea level you were at. So when you started your run you were somewhere between 262 and 295 ft. Then the red line shows the ups and downs of your run. Each of those hills look to be about 30ft and in total they equaled 95ft elevation gain. I'm not sure what device or app you're tracking with but I don't think any are completely accurate but this is a good estimate.

The pace is similar. Blue numbers on the left are a guide and the blue line shows your pace variation. The higher the blue line, the faster you were going. So you can see you started slower going up the incline, then your pace picked up going downhill...stayed pretty steady awhile....then in the end you had a little variation where you were speeding up and slowing down a couple times. So whereas the split time is your average pace for each mile, the blue line shows in detail where you were speeding up and slowing down. Which is completely normal running outside vs a treadmill.

Does this help?

Hi @foomsy. The elevation is showing you how hilly or flat it was where you ran. So in your case, the red line on the bottom graph is showing the you went up and down little hills and your total elevation change over the whole run was 95 ft between the lowest and highest point (above sea level). So fairly flat to rolling hills for this run. Although 95 ft would be the equivalent of about a 9 story building google tells me, so think of it that you ran Up and down 9 flights of stairs across the course of your run

The blue line on the graph shows how your pace in minutes per mile changed as you went through your run. When it goes up you got faster and when it goes down you slowed down.

Hope that helps but if not ask and someone can give a better explanation.

Thanks so much. Great explanation.
