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.
