Elevation Specificity Factor (ESF)

[JustDan]

I would like to have another data field added/created which showed how many meters I ascended per kilometer for my activity, similar to what VAM (in other platforms contain) but different in that it's measured/factored against distance undertaken and not duration.

Also for training purposes, if I have a MTB race of 120km and total ascent is 1900vm, that means from a specificity viewpoint, I should be training within the range of 1:16 to get a good feel to what awaits me in the race.
