How's that work? No, there were no elevators, cliffs, or ropes involved.

The earths plates shifted.
Half way through you changed into shoes with REALLY high heels.
Today I read a thread about somebody using a measuring device that they know isn't accurate, but thought they'd write about anyway just to garner some attention.
Your GPS unit clearly detects increases in elevation better than decreases in it. Over 7 miles, that's a minuscule error (<0.0001%).
I love the yahoos who think that their GPS devices or Google Maps is accurate. A sucker born every minute they say.
These devices/tools are just find for getting close-enough-for-government measurements, but don't read too much into the data.
If you don't believe me, take your gps device and go to the track, run a known/measured distance and compare it to what your gps device says. Only the extremely gullible who think that running a a few miles on a track, would yeild results of 4 or 5 meters elevation change.
treadmill?
Google Maps (G-Map Pedometer) is pretty accurate. Try it out on a track.
Is it a pressure-based altimeter? If so, get ready for a storm.

Here is your winner!
It looks like "treadmill" solves the riddle.
But bonus points in getting people into GPS debates and good old letsrun insulting.
You were running at a slight tilt. Straighten up when you run. Your posture suxs,
Out of curiosity, how would running on a treadmill cause the gps to think you climbed in elevation?

where did the op say anything about gps?
I once did an out-and-back ten miler in the mountains, and I swear it was uphill both ways.
Was it some sort of M.C. Escher route that you ran?
The Escher 7 miler.

370 would be nothing. I have averaged almost 3,000 ft elevation gain on my last 4 treadmill runs!!
Now see I understand you climbing that many feet but how did you change elevation and run on a treadmill at the same time?
