About inclinepace
A free, open calculator that turns an incline — or loaded — walk into its flat-pace equivalent.
Treadmill incline walks and weighted-vest / rucking work are hard to gauge because popular grade-adjusted-pace tools were built for running and reuse running formulas for everything. Walking has a different energy-cost curve, and load changes it again.
inclinepace uses the ACSM walking equation for unloaded walks, the ACSM running equation only when the input is actually a run, and the Pandolf, Givoni & Goldman (1977) equation for carried load — then reports METs and calories and solves for the flat, unloaded pace with the same cost, labelling it walk or jog honestly.
