Slope segmentation: prepare your mountain race

For a trail or mountain race, understanding the slope profile of your course is crucial. Segly's slope segmentation automatically identifies climbs, descents and flat sections.

Why segment by slope?

Each type of terrain places different demands on your body. A steep 15% climb cannot be run the same way as a 3% false flat. By identifying these zones, you can:

• Plan your pace segment by segment
• Estimate your split times
• Identify the most difficult sections of the course

How to use slope segmentation on Segly

After importing your track, select the Slope Segmentation mode. Define your thresholds (e.g. climb if slope > 5%, descent if slope < -5%) and run the analysis.

You immediately get a colour-coded map and detailed statistics per segment.
