How it works
Pace is the total time in seconds divided by the distance in the unit you want. The distance is converted to miles and to kilometres first.
The finish time is typed in minutes with decimals, so half a minute is 0.5 minutes.
Worked example
Running 3.1 mi in 27.5 minutes works out to 8 min 52 s a mile, or 5 min 31 s a kilometre.
Questions
Is pace the same as speed?
They are related. Pace is time per unit distance, and speed is distance per hour. Both describe the same effort in different terms.
Does the distance have to be exact?
The more exact the distance, the better the pace. Tracking apps measure distance with small errors, so expect some variation.
Why do runners use pace?
Pace makes race goals easy to plan, since you can aim for a set time per mile and check it along the way.
