Is this a good time adjustment rule of thumb for hills courses:
Add 2 seconds for each 10 feet of uphill
And subtract 1 second for each 10 feet of downhill.

mountains and tons of research, talks and experience couldn´t crack the following four problems:
1. the character of the ground is a huge factor (firm, soft, grassy, stoniness, dry, wet...)
2. the character of all metres in altitude (evenly spread or steep)
3. the position of the climbs on a race/training course (right at the beginning? at the end, when already tired?)
4. on a hilly distance race long downhill runs are the true executioner; it seems to be superfast, but leaves the legs due to high impact landing in a very bad condition and makes the runner slower and slower
that said, here we are:
The "runworks" calculations are based on data from T. Noakes. In my point of view and compared with other calculators Noakes calculations are not realistic; the results mean that running uphill does not slow down very much. It´s the calculator that computes significantly different results, given the same data.
