3500 FEET

On Wednesday, I calculated that I had climbed a virtual elevation of about 2000 feet spending 60 minutes on the treadmill, 'traveling 2.55 miles at a 15 incline.  On Thursday, I decided to see if I could increase my elevation with more time spent on the treadmill at a slightly faster pace.

100 minutes.
4.49 miles ---> 23,707.2 feet x .15 ----> 3,556 feet of virtual elevation.




100 minutes, 4.49 miles, incline 15 ---> calories burned 1026



There are some differences when 'climbing' 3556 feet while remaining in the same spot. The air does not get thinner as one 'ascends.'  And no matter how tired one gets on the way up, one does not have to contend with the reality of the requirement to climb back down as one does on a real mountain.  Still, even for a virtual climb, 3556 feet of elevation is some kind of accomplishment. Now I know what one of my future goals will be.

That is to virtually climb ONE MILE.
I would need to 'walk' 35,200.2 feet on a treadmill with a 15 incline.
This would translate to 6.667 miles.
If I were to maintain a pace of 2.5 miles per hour.
This would be one continuous treadmill workout of 2.67 hours, which would translate to 2 hr 40 min.
OK, a new goal has just been born.
I wonder how long it will take me to try to tackle this.
