About Pace Calculation
Pace is the speed at which you complete a certain distance. It's typically expressed as time per unit of distance (e.g., minutes per mile or kilometer).
Key Concepts:
- Pace = Time / Distance
- Time = Pace × Distance
- Distance = Time / Pace
This calculator allows you to find any of these three variables when you know the other two.
