Equivalent Speed: An improved average speed metric

Hey,

I found this metric thanks to strava sauce and I think it would be nice to integrate it in intervals.icu :eyes:

So what is this specific feature ?
Equivalent Speed can be viewed as taking the speed each metre (or suitably small distance interval) and taking the average.
The goal being to have a metric like VAM but for flat terrains. It allows people without a PM to compare different activities.
It will simulate a average speed without stops, wind nor hills?
