How It Works
Pace
Pace is your total time divided by the distance covered, expressed as minutes and seconds per mile or kilometer.
Speed
Speed is the distance covered per hour — the inverse relationship of pace, useful for comparing against treadmill speed settings.
Example Calculation
Running 5 kilometers in 25 minutes works out to a 5:00 per kilometer pace, or 12 km/h.
Common Mistakes
- Mixing miles and kilometers between the distance entered and the pace being compared to — always match units.
- Forgetting to include seconds in the time, which can meaningfully shift the pace for shorter distances.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I convert a treadmill speed to a pace?
- Divide 60 by the speed (in mph or km/h) to get minutes per mile/km — for example, 6 mph is 60 ÷ 6 = 10 minutes per mile.
- What's a good pace for a beginner runner?
- This varies widely by individual fitness level — a common beginner training pace is often in the 10-14 minute per mile range, but consistency matters more than a specific number when starting out.
