→Terrain
So the formula is shown below, with p as the pace in seconds per mile and d as the distance in miles.
(0.000555476190476192p<sup>2</sup>-0.8333t+382)(1.0011d<sup>0.2012</sup>d)
For [[Excel ]] users, the formula is
=(0.000555476190476192*H2*H2-0.8333*H2+382)*(1.0011*POWER(H3,0.2012)*H3)
Where H2 is the pace per mile in seconds and H3 is the distance in miles
There is no official definition for terrain. The proposal that was posted on the fitocracy forums seems to have wide adoption and is reproduced here.
