Gotta improve that Hill Score…
Hill Score is another new one for Garmin, and as you might have guessed, it’s a measurement of how good you are at running uphill – again, based on your VO2 max and training history.
Of course, Hill Score isn’t just about running uphill: it’s also an indicator of lower-body power, of the potential for explosive speed, and bigger effort on flat sections, too. Hill Score ratings take two weeks of consistent training to generate and range from 1 to 100, again with a classification of"recreational" at the low end, to"elite" at the highest level.
I have never considered training in a specific area to get better at running uphill. But now I know that the Garmin will generate a Hill Score in less than two weeks, I kind of want a good one. So hear I am, deliberately seeking out overly hilly routes and integrating hill sprints – which are horrid at the best of times, and absolutely savage in the summer heat– because I know Garmin is going to judge me on my hill performance. God, I hate it.
