Frequently asked questions

What is running pace?
Pace is the time it takes to cover one unit of distance, usually minutes per kilometer or per mile. A 5:00/km pace means five minutes for each kilometer.
How do I use pace for races?
Knowing your target pace helps you run even splits instead of starting too fast. Multiply your goal pace by the race distance to estimate your finish time.
How do I convert pace to speed?
Speed and pace are inverses of each other. This tool shows both, so a 5:00 per kilometre pace also appears as 12 kilometres per hour without you doing the sums.
