How to use the pace calculator

Pace is the time you take for each kilometre. To finish 10K in 50 minutes, every kilometre needs to take 5 minutes.

Use it to check whether a goal is realistic and to set your long-run and race paces. On race day, start a little slower than goal pace.

Questions

What is the difference between pace and speed?

Pace is minutes per kilometre; speed is kilometres per hour. The calculator shows both.

Why does my watch measure more than the race distance?

GPS is never exact and nobody runs the shortest line perfectly. Allow for that gap on race day.
