Eddington Number for Elevation Gain

Definition

Your Eddington number is 2.

That means that on 2 separate days you have recorded activities with a Elevation Gain exceeding 40 m. Achieving a high Elevation Gain is one thing, doing so often is another. But doing so often is hard. Also if you increment the Eddington number, all days with a lower Elevation Gain will not count any more. It becomes increasingly hard to increment the Eddington number because you don't only need to achieve a higher count, but all lesser activities don't count towards the bigger number.
