How is running pace calculated?
Pace is total running time divided by distance. For example, running 10 kilometers in 50 minutes equals a pace of 5:00 min/km.
The exact conversion 1 mile = 1.609344 km is used, so min/km, min/mile, km/h and mph results represent the same physical speed.
What is the split table for?
The split table shows the cumulative time you would see at each kilometer or mile at a constant pace. It is a quick reference for planning 5K, 10K, half-marathon and marathon goals.
