OK, that's not quite what I meant
if you cycle the route at, say, 10mph and again at 20mph does it record 4 times as much energy burnt? I wasn't sure running apps bothered factoring the wind resistance squared thing.

I don't know, only started using it yesterday :/
I'm certain it won't factor in wind resistance though.

sorry, I'm being a tool
I meant 8 times as much energy. KE goes with velocity^2, so travelling twice as fast requires 4 times as much energy just for the speed, and then wind resistance is related to v^2 as well, so it's probably close to 8 times as much energy to actually cycle twice as fast. Test it out!

I'll see how it goes
I'm starting to record all my trips, and as I get fitter I'll be able to cycle faster.
