SEGLY
On a trail, knowing what time you will reach each aid station or summit is crucial for managing your race and reassuring your support crew. Here is how to use Segly to estimate your split times.
Why estimate your split times?
- Adjust your pace to avoid starting too fast
- Inform your family or support team
- Respect cut-off times in competition
- Plan your nutrition stops
The Naismith Rule
The classic hiking formula allows 1 hour for 5 km on flat terrain, plus 1 additional hour for every 600 m of D+. In trail running, this can be refined based on your level and the technical difficulty of the terrain.
Segly makes this calculation easy
By segmenting your GPX track by key points or by distance, Segly gives you for each segment: the distance, elevation gain, average slope and length. Simply apply your personal coefficient to get a reliable estimate of your split time.
