When I run it one way, it feels easier than when I run it in the opposite direction.

Any loop starts and ends at the same point, and is therefore neither net downhill nor net uphill.
What are you asking?
If the loop is basically a hill that is short and steep on one side and long and gradual on the other, it might feel easier running the direction that you are going up the short and steep side and down the long and gradual side. That's my only guess.
Then you should always run it one way.
No, you should run it the opposite way.
Sure
Exactly. Places like that are rare but they do exist. MC Escher was famous for taking photographs of such places.
In the southern hemisphere, it would be uphill both ways. Here, it should be downhill.
Should I run the figure 8 the hard way?
As that would necessitate moving to Australia, I would say that the benefits do not outweigh the costs, no.
I think my old man's school must have been on such a course. Is it always covered by snow in the winter?
