The main result of this paper is an improvement for the differentiable structure presented in Cheeger [2, Theorem 4.38] under the same assumptions of [2] that the given metric measure space admits a Poincare inequality with a doubling measure. To be precise, it is shown in this paper that the coordinate functions of the differentiable structure can be taken to be distance functions. In the process, a representation is given in terms of approximate limits for the differential of functions contained in the Sobolev space H 1,p defined in [2], and therefore N 1,p defined by Shanmugalingam [16]. Further application of these results includes identifying the minimal generalized upper gradient [2, Definition 2.9] of an arbitrary Sobolev function, and an alternate proof to that of Franchi, Hajlasz and Koskela [5] and Semmes [8, Theorem 5.1] for the closability of the differential operator defined on Lipschitz functions in L p .
