Just curious...how many miles are you running per week? I run about 30-50 on trails. I usually just log them as 6miles/hr but I know I'm likely burning more with thousands of feet elevation gain and uneven surfaces. Anyone else out there running trails? If so, how do you log them?

    Yeah I just exaggerate my speed a bit to make the estimate closer. Like if I run 10 miles in 120 minutes (12 minute mile) on a very hilly trail, I'll put that I ran at a 10-minute mile pace for 100 minutes because I think those efforts are equivalent.

    I run 30-50 mpw also, but sadly most of it is on pavement or treadmill due to my work/kids/etc., but I get out to the woods every chance I get.

    I log all of my exercises by using a heart rate monitor. Heart rate monitor will tell you how much calories you burned based on your heart rate..
