It'd be perfect if we can have a toggle to switch to metric system, like kilometers, meters, celsius for temperature, etc. I find it very hard to follow the numbers expressed in miles

[navane]

I know it's a dumb trick but it works for me: I use the Fibonacci sequence. 3 miles? 5 km. 8miles? 13km. 33 miles? 55km.

My dumber version: Just multiply by 1.5. It's fine unless you are using a treasure map.

[catoc]

Ha! That’s nice.

I never realized 1.609 miles/km is close to the golden ratio (1.618)

[mnaimd]

Hey, this is very smart. The golden ratio... Wow!

Fahrenheit is easy if you just forget trying to translate it to Celsius and just equate it to roughly:

- 0 = freezing

- 50 = mild

- 100 = Very hot (not burning just very hot)

[stephen_g]

Yeah but Fahrenheit still feels super alien and unintuitive if you haven’t used it much. I have like three or four approximate values that I think I know what they feel like, but most of the time I really have to stop and think.

If you go for a run at 0C with a T-shirt you'll probably be OK. Gloves and ear coverings would be nice.

If you go for a run at 0F in a T-shirt, you won't be running for very long. That's like -18C.

That's a great way to look at it. Fahrenheit is arguably aligned with how people perceive temperature. Zero is so cold that you probably should stay inside. One hundred is so hot that you should probably stay inside.

[brudgers]

0 = freezing

“Frigid” would perhaps be less confusing “Freezing.”

I can somehow convert distances in my head, by pace is harder! If someone has a trick to quickly convert between minutes/mile and minutes/km please chime in.

[mosquitobiten]

I always use minutes as percentages of hours to convert miles to km, 30min is 0.5 hours so following that 30miles=50km.

[fivestones]

Yeah! Please do
