Ascent is a tool designed especially to help cyclists, runners, and hikers train better by organizing activity data and presenting it in useful ways.

Using Ascent, you can download activity data directly from your GPS into the program, and immediately begin analyzing the data as it is presented to you in various textual and graphical formats.

The Animation feature lets you re-play the activity so you can review in detail your performance during any segment of the activity.
