This thread is a mediocre place for a nagging question about hills. Is it better to attack the beginning incline of a hill to increase initial momentum or just find a comfortable pace you can ride the entire hill. For instance, I am thinking 5% for a mile.
I usually will take a hard run a the start of a longish hill but to me it seems like a waste of energy without any real gain. Correct?
And back to the thread… time X distance x power (or heart rate) is a nice lame way to calculate.
