Distance and time
Turn distance and time into a usable pace.
Calculate your average pace and speed, or estimate a finish time from a target pace.

Total time
Pace = elapsed time ÷ distance. Speed = distance ÷ elapsed time.
Average pace smooths out the route
Hills, stops, wind, surface, and fatigue make actual pace vary during an activity. Use moving time for motion-only pace or total elapsed time when stops are part of the event.
Pace and speed are inverses
A lower minutes-per-mile or minutes-per-kilometer value means faster movement, while a higher miles-per-hour or kilometers-per-hour value means faster movement.
Plan from sustainable effort
A target based on one short effort may not hold over a longer distance. Training history, terrain, weather, hydration, and recovery all matter.
Pace is not intensity
The same pace can feel easy to one person and hard to another. Breathing, heart rate, and perceived effort provide additional context.
The CDC’s activity-intensity guidance explains the talk test and why effort is personal rather than determined by pace alone.
