Frequently asked questions
How is running pace calculated?
Pace equals finish time divided by distance. For a 5 km run in 25 minutes, your pace is 25 ÷ 5 = 5 minutes per kilometer (5:00/km).
Can I use miles instead of kilometers?
Yes. Toggle the unit between kilometers and miles and every value — pace, speed, and distance — converts automatically so the run stays the same.
What is the difference between pace and speed?
Pace is time per unit of distance (for example 5:00 per kilometer); speed is distance per hour (for example 12 km/h). They describe the same effort from opposite directions.
Does it work for cycling, walking, or other activities?
Yes. Enter any distance and time — the pace and speed math is identical regardless of the activity.
