Sorry for the late answer.
In a graph, with the distance in the x-as, data gets distorted because the lower the speed (the lower the increase in distance) the more that data gets shrunk compared to the parts where you moved with a higher speed.
For example: you walk one hour at 10km/h, then you rest (stay at the same place) for one hour and then again you walk for one hour at 10km/h.
In a graph with the distance in the x-as the part you rested for one hour won't be visible because the distance didn't increase.
In a graph with the time in the x-as it is clear that one third of the time you stayed at the same place.
ps: thx for the superb track editor !
